Can Somalis call themselves Arabs since they have Arab lineage?

[Gacmeey]

the term wasnt there but the people already existed. thats why they say he married a somali women from dir tribe

The people existed of course but the identity was created later and it’s original clan members are those who were included in the definition when the identity was created.

I understand what you mean tho, the dir descending from proto-cushites makes them more “original” and “older” than us in their somalinimo but compared to us having the ability to rasulka waa ina adeerkay, it means naught.

there is literally a german province in italy this is a bad example

Genetically Northern Italians are Germanics, the largest province of Northern Italy where Milan is based, Lombardy, is named after the Lombards who were a Germanic tribe
