Arabic and Somali

[Khalid Hussein]

An arab understanding somali
Stop being an arab beg it is embarrasing, he probably heard an arabic loanword, you are stupid if you think he understood entire sentences

I know what an Loanword is it is a word that wasn't changed much and was taken by a Foregin Language. But I told you what will happen If Somali sacked all Arabic Loanwords for the A Quadrillion time.

 

[Khalid Hussein]

You can not make one somali sentence remotely similar to arabic so stop trying

When I ask you Question you make it harder and Harder, Since I am not Sufi and I don't have any relation to Somali Blokes Worshipping Graves, I told you What will happen if Somali Sacked all Somali Loanwords.

 

[Khalid Hussein]

Yes, Debunked a Sufi thing, Fasting only and making dhikr at night of the 15th of Saban is Biddah. The Hadith is weak.

Nothing will happen , we can find our original words

You are confusing loanwords with normal words brother
Yes English has heavy French and Latin influence on vocabulary but it is still much more similar to German and even more to scandinavian languages
Check the lexical similarity boxes
Word order can be different in one group it is the case with mant groups
Sound is little importance too, an English reader can maybe jnderstand a bit of written German but when it is spoken it is obviously hard

See but does make speaking harder, Most Somali who live in my Area don't know what Allah means in Somali. We, finding Original words is even harder. Because we lost them or Forgot them. I think we lost the word Pants in our language. English is Germanic Language, but was Influence by Norman and Latin Influence.

There are some words we lost, some we never ever had so we use english
Imagine a somali medical dictionary for example, 99.99% of it will be loanwords depending on how big it is
Englishs influenced by latin a lot but it is still germanic with its nature and core



There is no way somali is closer to arabic than it is to oromo, not close at all

Here are some words in Somali and oromo and Arabic for comparison
ilaa dhamaadka
الي النهاية (ilaa alnhya)
hamma dhuma
You can see that in Arabic and somali the preposition are the same but nothing else
Ormo
Mohamed konkolaataa qaba
Somali
mohamed ayaa baabuur/ gaari leh
Arabic
محمد عنده سيارة Mohamed candoh sayarah
If you see this you'd think all words are different however qaba means the Same thing in Somali as in oromo.
After searching the web about the oromo Language my conclusion is that it's infact closer to Somali than Arabic
It has the same tonal system Same way
Of conjuncting words and many more similarities

Not only is tonal system snd conjugatimg the same but the vocab is similar too, unlike arabic which only appear on loanword

There is a reason we are classed as cushitic languave, not arabic semitic

We use Arabic loanwords everyday, Before you speak to your Parents you say some word that are from Arabic. Cool right.

Arabic does not only apper as loan words we share some proto Afro-Asiatic words too

Doesnt make somali arab or semitic

Arabic does not only apper as loan words we share some proto Afro-Asiatic words too

Those are very minimal, words like I and father, not many around like that

Hmm, cool, But When i seen the Oromo language it is a SOV, when Somali is SOV, Sorry I Somali is not SOV it is SVO.

Konkolaataa is car i am Assuming, How it was Arranged

Muhammad which is Subject, Konkolaataa which is Object, Qaba is Verb.

Himar, Dameer, KhaMor

 

[Prince of Lasanod]

There is a genetic overlap between them and Somalis from that area only. But when you can compare Harar Oromos to let's say Sacads from Mudug, you can easily tell who is who. It's almost kind of funny. I personally didn't expect that.

With Habeshas, it's very difficult to tell who is Amhara, Tigray, Tigrinya etc. With Somalis, it's easy to genetically identify them from other Horners.

From what I've seen is that the Oromos from Harar have the least Omotic admixture(around 5-7 % and are mostly E-32 like Somalis), the Oromos in Shewa are pretty much identical to the Amharas/Tigray.

With Ancient Egyptian, there are a suprising number. Stuff like Aar - Lion, Qorrax - Sun, Bisad - Cat and many others are linked to AE.

I think that is because ancient Egyptian is a dead language. Also isn't libaax lion not aar

I am starting to lose my sanity because about you. Somali is not Semitic but we have Arab Influence, see our History look like Arabs we look like Crazy Pillow heads into Sultans. This site really hates Arabs, Sheik Salman al-Alwan is getting released from Jail, in eid al fitr.

Languages change over time, so sometimes the original word for a thing becomes replaced with a synonym. Aar may be the older Cushitic word and Libaax an innovation.

Yeah, it is Libaax not aar, Ancient Egyptian the Language of the worst tyrant.
