The Waaq religion is still practiced by Oromos and Rendilles. It is not a dead religion as many Somalis think. But it has almost no structure. You can basically do whatever you want except for basic concepts like do good and shit like that.

@Shimbiris @Periplus Geeljirism is the root of all evil in Somalis. The geeljire lifestyle promotes fighting over grazing lands, clannish behavior, tribal alliances to keep other tribes away etc etc. If Somalis were former agricultural serfs with docile religious norms like ''Render unto...

I honestly think Somalia is unique in that it destroyed itself far more than outside forces did. For countries like DRC the postcolonial analysis is far more valid, but Somalia should be analyzed from a postmooryaanism prism.

With Somalis the ratio is particularly skewed towards us killing each other. So blaming the white man for our problems is really pointless.

If somebody seriously attempts it. I recommend using only real Cushitic words and somehow be creative from base roots with more advanced words. Example from Esperanto: Hospital: Malsanulejo mal- (“opposite of”) sana (“healthy”) -ulo (“person”) malsanulo (“sick person”) -ejo (“place”)...

@Shimbiris If you want to geek out, there is a community of nerds who make their own conlangs. Nobody has yet made a Cushitic conlang before: https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/ Even if nobody uses it, lol, you still can claim to be the first to have made such a thing.

Cushitic is old as f*ck. People often think it is like Germanic or Romance which both expanded roughly ~2,000 years ago and show way more similarity. The various Cushitic languages are more like how Welsh, Polish, Albanian, Greek, Armenian relate to each other etc., barely any similarities...

Way waay waaay more Somalis killed each other in tribal conflicts trying to overpower each other than Italians, the French or Brits ever killed Somalis.

@Periplus People in Socotra are cooning hard for the UAE. Similar to the people of Xamar with Turkey but 100x worse. But I guess it makes sense in such poor countries to be happy with benevolent Islamic countries.

Come to think of it, if successful, this would give the EU globalists an excuse to expand the EU into Turkey, North Africa, the Levant, and Iraq. THEY WUZ LATIN TOO, diversity training gulag for you racist. :dead:

I wonder why the EU isn't bringing Latin back from the dead as the main working language and promoting its usage across the EU. Now that the UK is out, why use their shitty Franco-Frisian pidgin? 🤣 English is kind of an ugly unwieldy language. Latin is pretty awesome. If Israel managed to do...

Imagine the epic lol if Dir, Isaaq, Darod, Hawiye, Rahanweyn all spoke different unintelligible languages and as a compromise Somalia became an Italian speaking nation. :dead: :mindblown: :damn:

You will be shocked to know this, but some Francophone African countries are language shifting to French as their native language, LOL. :mindblown: Also, in Angola and Mozambique you got people language shifting to Portuguese as their L1. :dead: Instead of promoting one of the many local...

For Somalia, I think the following when it comes to foreign languages: Swahili should be really discouraged, all the Swahili countries speak good English. Doing business with them you don't need Swahili at all. Many Ugandans, Rwandans, Burundians, and even Kenyans don't speak Swahili as their...

Everybody knows that English is the most studied language, so the #1 spot is not interesting. The #2 and #3 spots show more interesting patterns. I am surprised that Europeans are studying Spanish, which has kind of low prestige and isn't very useful here (economy of Spain is not impressive).

It is free. I noticed more and more fobs* on the internet lately. They are everywhere nowadays. No longer like the 2010s where it was rare to see plebs from Somalia on the internet. *by fobs I mean Somalis still living in Somalia.

LoL, thanks, but be careful I am bad at spotting the precise bottom and may continue to be bearish a few weeks post-bottom.

I think they hate their own ethnic language due to how backwards it has become (only spoken in a few towns on Ireland's west coast). I don't think it is the case because it is hard to learn. Israel revived their dead liturgical language which was spoken only by a few Rabbis within a single...

They are having a big cultural impact in Mogadishu. Deceiving the locals there they are a rising super power.
