Why English tho only somali language should be economic language and not EnglishI believe that Somalis should learn English for economic purposes but I still think the language of instruction should be Somali

I thought Khamri was just the alchohol you drink, does it include all alchohol?The funniest thing about that book is they replace khamri (arabic loan word) with alkohol, which is another arabic loan word.
The Kacaan were so useless.
Yeah but realistically speaking English would be very very useful as it's essentially the global lingua franca right now, like French and Latin used to be.Why English tho only somali language should be economic language and not English

Isnt alkoholi English word and not arabic since it doesnt sound arabic
I disagree It doesnt have to be tht way somali ppl should only use somali language as language of economicYeah but realistically speaking English would be very very useful as it's essentially the global lingua franca right now, like French and Latin used to be.
How do u know tht?The english world "alcohol" comes from the Arabic word "Al-Kukhul", meaning body eating spirit.
No it should not somali should make and use their own script or use latin which somaali already using it no arabic script or languageI think it is quite a stretch for Somalis to start learning Arabic, especially how there's a growing number forgetting how to speak Somali at all. Although I do believe that the Somali script should be switched to Arabic, it will increase the literacy rate and its what was originally used to write it.
WrongNo it should not somali should make and use their own script or use latin which somaali already using it no arabic script or language
How do u know tht?
Nope it is not wrong somali to make their own script and use or keep using the latin script and not arabic scriptWrong
If it is arabic loan word why dont it sound arabicIts trivia knowledge sxb.
English has heaps of Arabic loan words way more than the Somali language does.
Here is just the loanwords for A to B:

If somali continues to use latin or some other script how will they read ancient texts? how will people who can't afford to go to school but can read the quran become literate? It's just dumb anti-arab shit.Nope it is not wrong somali to make their own script and use or keep using the latin script and not arabic script
If it is arabic loan word why dont it sound arabic
But alcohol doesnt have kh in itBecause the English language does not have a "Kh" sound.
Do this sxb: Say alcohol and seperate the "al" from "cohol". Then say "Al-Kokhol".
But alcohol doesnt have kh in it
Because when languages take words from other languages they change the way it's pronounced to fit the phonology of their own language.If it is arabic loan word why dont it sound arabic
Agreed, this is why I can't take people who want to write Somali in the Arabic script seriously.People back in Somalia can’t write Somali itself.
Diaspora can hardly speak Somali.
And you’re expecting these people to learn Arabic?
the same thing happened to Northern Sudan and look what happened to their country lmao. They hardly have an unique culture or their own language,
