The Case for Adopting Arabic as the Official Language in Somaliland

[Burqad]

Arabic is already the official language of Somaliland state of Somalia.

Arabic is already the official language of Somaliland state of Somalia.

Walanweyn, it’s only a state in your own little brain. The rest of the world knows the reality of your bunker govt.

Arabic is alongside Somali. Somali needs to be removed from the government & education should only be in Arabic. Maybe some few English language universities could exist but the Arabic ones should outnumber them.

 

[Garaad Awal]

I suggest you watch the propaganda these Arabs are spreading about Somalis

Why does a Syrian claiming Xamar have to do with me? The topic is about the idea of SL abandoning Somali as an official language.

It serves many purposes economically & politically. SL should even change its name to the Republic of Adal and Landers should be called Adalites with the official language being Arabic.

Hopefully after 100 years, Northern Somali dies out and is replaced by Adalite Arabic.

This guy actually wants to replace Somali with Arabic looool

This seems to be a desperate man's work..

If SL wants to elevate itself it should follow the Singapore model, make English an official language, Invest in education and bring in foreign talent to transfer skills and knowledge.

It wouldnt matter if SL got independence if they held a referendum and all the clans under them agreed to be under them. If they were like djibouti and not hating on other somalis but collaborating and having a mutual relationship I see no issue with them being independent but instead of acting diplomatically they just hate and make enemies also as for @Garaad Awal proposal I dont think you guys should adopt arabic language as your primary language thatd just coonish.

 

[Rayaale]

Are you one of those ethno-nationalist guys who pray Salah in Somali? Maybe focus on making Somali an official language in Djibouti

No one is talking about Salah you dummie,we are talking about official languages

Is that the Palestinian flag underneath?

90% of Xamar is Bantu and atleast you are admitting you are walanweyn. Tired of cosplaying as a Samarone I guess

 

[Leila]

Don’t know what that word means but considering I see Somalians repeating day & night hopefully you can translate for those of us who don’t speak Af-Qoti.

Somalians should have Af-Maay as one of their official languages as well as Swahili as there are many Swahili speakers in your country excluding the foreign forces such as Barawe & Bajuni Island/Kismayo

1. Af Maay is Somali, you northerners don’t understand them but people from Banadir, the Shabelle regions and Hiiraan can understand the dialect.
2. Chiminiwi Swahili is only spoken by a Barwanis and they are probably less than 1 % of the population.

1. Af-Maay is not Somali nor is it a dialect of Somali (Af-Maxaa). This is agreed upon by linguists. As for why Somalians can understand them is purely due to exposure and the fact that Banadiri Somali dialect has been extremely influenced by Af-Maay.

2. Chimwini & Bajuni Swahili need to be preserved by your govt. Many Somalians due to fleeing to Kenya during the 90s can also speak Swahili.

What happend to the thumb down option?

 

[Febbie]

I barely read the content. I was so annoyed by the suggestion Arabic be adopted. Absolutely NO!!

 

[reer]

@Garaad Awal has a good idea. its good economics to attach yourself to a major language.

 

[MaliMohamed]

Don’t feed the troll

An Oromo half breed accusing other Somalis of been non Somali how ironic.

Southerners used to sell your ancestors like cattle

You are not Arab or Somali nor will you ever be accepted as one, you insecure little man.

Somalis, whether from the North or South, are very proud people and wouldn't turn their backs on their language and heritage. Try proposing this plan to fellow Landers and see how they receive it.
