Many of these Arab tribes still spoke their native languages alongside Arabic as late as the 19th century. The need for a lingua franca among these tribes further entrenched Arabic. Unlike us who were mostly monolingual

No offense but your takes are always horrendous.
Af Somali ? Almost like a pidgin ? Be serious for a minute.

Do you have anything to actually add here?

It is arabic. Loaned from adeni arabic where it is "sharabat". I'm pretty sure they use "sharab" in the Levant and Egypt as well.
Somali loanwoards either come from classical arabic, usually religious concepts, or yemeni arabic (either north or south).

Look, if you’re here to learn, cool, that’s what this place is for in a way. But don’t embarrass yourself by confidently saying stuff you clearly just made up, or just didn't bother verifying. Try asking questions or look around instead of acting like an expert every timeDo you have anything to actually add here?

Learn what? You come in here with your arrogant attitude and personal attacks and have no actual criticism or retort for anything I said. That @Maakhri2024 dude was right about you, you are a rude, ignorant kid.

It's actually Arabic, it's used in yemani dialect and sometimes in Egyptian dialect. It's Arabic origin is undisputed and well known
I also noticed xamar has alot of Italian loan words. I learnt recently Shukuman, i was confused and asked whats shukuman, I am not sure if it's Italian in origin, we say Tuwal in wooqoyi.
