We should take it a step further and make Arabic our main language over time we may even develop our own dialect.

Af soomali is a cool language to know but it’s pretty useless if Were being honest

Nah somali language should stay that's way too extreme. Don't want to be like Sudanese who have been fully arabsised.

Should stay but it should be in the background Arabic would give access to more knowledge and unlock more opportunities

Somali is cool for cultural reasons but really and truely it is only useful for communication people can speak it if they want but can you name any great literature written in af soomali

It's part of our identity. Imagine you told a people to stop speaking their language its crazy. No because somali is who we are. I think somalis should become bilingual. Our poetry.

That’s not literature that’s oral I like Somali poetry though

Tribalism will not allow us to implement it

Why?

 

[Shimbiris]

Why?

You think a people as tribalistic as Somalis are now will want to use a script made by an MJ guy? Good luck selling that in Hargeiso or Dusmareb.

 

[Gacanka Cadmeed]

Why?

Because if let's say a habar gidir makes a script the clan's enemies will not want to use that script.

osmanya looks too much like amharic now thank you.

Low-key kinda liked it for that, not gonna lie. Makes the Horn look like a sort of regional block in terms of scripts. You can tell he was partially inspired by Ge'ez.

Why drop the latin script for a bootlegged Arabic version? Either make up something new or stop stealing other peoples shit
