also what would the women wear bc guntino is not masjid appropriate
maybe like a dress made from guntino fabricomg yes I always see other ethnics like Pakistanis rock their culture clothes on eid meanwhile we wear Arab clothing
Those men wearing the red fabric, are Ajuran nobility and the Sultan of Qelafe, Olol Diinle, being hosted by Italian Nazis lol, if you wanna find out the name of those clothes, how to make them etc, I suggest ou visit the town Qelafe in the Somali region of Ethiopia, I'm sure you'll find the ajuran sultan, and his relatives there sipping shah, show them the pic and ask them ina adeer Eebbaan kugu dhaarshayee waaxay magaca dharkaan quruxda badan noloshayda haatan ma arkinee, adoo raali ah ii sheeg sidaan uheli karo
omg yes I always see other ethnics like Pakistanis rock their culture clothes on eid meanwhile we wear Arab clothing
I remember asking my dad why he doesn’t wear khamis he said he doesn’t bc he’s Somali 
Most bedouin lizard eating arabs wore some ragged out dusty light white abaayo at least our nomads looked majestic wearing two cloths like the roman toga, while our merchants wore our locally made clothes (like the ones in this thread) which have beautiful intricate patterns
Agree
Many cultures have adopted since its beginning in ancient mesopotania. Its called a kaftan and sultans across the whole muslim world have worn it and each nation have an unique variant of it. As an example the khaleejis wear a varient of this called bisht and chechens wear a varient thats called chokha
Do u think some of our ancestors were mesopotains
I doubt somalis adopted this from others, cushites paternally come from levantine natufians, and there is evidence of cushite presence in yemen before any semites, who knows maybe this attire was created by proto-afroasiatic people, or proto Hamites/cushites
Maybe some of the haplogroup t carrying somalis come from Mesopotamia..also, there is a significant cushitic substratum in old south Arabian languages (whose speakers settled across Oman yemen to Jordan), archaeologists have also stated that there a distinctly cushitic resembling rock art drawings in ancient caves found across the Arabian peninsula, these two things point at Cushites settling the Arabian peninsula before the semitic expansion into that region, some Cushites could have extended as far north as mesopotamia, in fact, I think the Canaanites were Cushites (they're aroumd 2000 years after the time of mesopotamia) since the bible and torah classes them as a son of Cush. One thing I found odd, is that linguistic experts have definitely ruled out any similarities or relations between babylonian language and semitic or indo European (we can definitely rule out Iranians from the zagros mountains), in fact a few linguistic experts have mentioned there are similarities between babylonian and afroasiatic languages spoken in Northeast africa (berber, ancient Egyptian and Cushitic)...the babylonians could've well been some form of proto Cushites without any nilotic admixture since they didn't backmigrate into africa, instead they could've come from the same ancestral group of natufian migrants that cushites come from, only that they migrated North into the fertile crescent while what became proto cushites migrated south into Egypt and Sudan.
