Ciyaal Casiir Xalimo claiming siad barre invented the Somali language and Somalis spoke Arabic before that.

[Cali1996]

As you all know, most of the Somalis who claim Arab are ciyaal casiir possibly due to our educational background which is usually in Arabic. Being a native Arabic speaker means you would run into an enormous amount of Arabic sources that claim Somalis as fellow Arabs possibly due to the status of our ancestors who were very influential up until the 19th century (when Berbera was the most important port on the Arabian sea, more important than bigger more populated ports like Kararchi for example). The abundance of Arabic sources claiming Somalis and exaggerating their achievements wouldn't justify claiming Arab by many of us ciyaal casiir but can make more comprehensible. However; to go as far as claiming Siad barre invented the Somali language is stupid and beyond embarrassing. This what this xalimo did.

She even thinks Siad Barre was elected.

I credit my current mentality to the fact that I was educated in the best private international schools in the country. My parents had to pay 8k dollars a year for me and each one of my 6 siblings. The total amount is 18k dollars more than the average income in Saudi Arabia. This requires high IQ which I believe Maakhir is blessed with.

 

[Maxmfhjkhd]

She means to write in Arabic letters, not to speak Arabic, and this is true

 

[World]

Somali was written in the Arabic/wadaad script before and siad barre was the one that implemented the latin script

 

[Keep it a boqol]

Ive noticed alot of Somali Diaspora do not know any or barely any Somali history. This needs to change especially since the nation has such a young high population

 

[Leila]

Wallahi I’m so embarrassed by this generation, how on earth do they come up with things like this

 

[Dima&Damo]

Somali was written in the Arabic/wadaad script before and siad barre was the one that implemented the latin script

Any evidence of that

 

[Loldynamo]

It's reported the after meeting Chairman Mao Siad Barre was told that one of his regrets was not converting the Chinese over to the Latin script. We've gotta thank our Chinese comrades for the brotherly advice

During SYL it was written in Osmanya aka Far Soomaali, Latin and Arabic. They were also discussing which script to use but Mr SYL hater Siad Barre, chose Latin eventually.

Which one would you have preferred? Why?

 

[NinWero]

During SYL it was written in Osmanya aka Far Soomaali, Latin and Arabic. They were also discussing which script to use but Mr SYL hater Siad Barre, chose Latin eventually.

Af Somali was never written in Osmanya, Osmanya script was only used by the inner circle of Kenadids men. This was how other Somali scripts, like the Kadarre and Wadads scripts operated in regional areas.

I have special hatred for Somalia who speak and write Arabic. Nacalaa

Af Somali was never written in Osmanya, Osmanya script was only used by the inner circle of Kenadids men. This was how other Somali scripts, like the Kadarre and Wadads scripts operated in regional areas.

Go learn what SYL is and what scripts they used. Osmanya was used in Majeerteenia, Sultanate of Hobyo and after it's fall among the political elite in Southern Somalia.

The Pro-Egyptian Young Somalis obviously proposed to adopt the Arabic alphabet for
writing the Somali language, while another SYL faction supported the alternative use of Osmania. After having been used mainly for private correspondences in the post-Second World War period, Osmania became in actuality the script of the first Somali nationalists who ennobled its inventor as a proto-national hero.11 The SYL charter included mention of the promotion of Osmania, and indeed, the party adopted it in its internal administration, even if, ambiguously enough, many records were still written in Arabic.

The copy of the SYL chapter that was
found in Harar is one such example.13 According to
its denigrators, Osmania was nothing more than a
dialect of Daarood;
in other words, the parlance of
the Daarood clan to which Yusuf Osman Kenadid
belonged.14 Osmania actually originates with the
Mudugh regional dialect that was regarded by
Italian linguists during the Trusteeship period as
the most valuable and literarily structured among
the Somali dialects.15 The Osmania probably
expressed the uniqueness of the Somali nation in
opposition to the Arabic script and above all to the
Latin script, which was viewed by its supporters
as an important vehicle of apprenticeship from
Europe and by its detractors as a ‘foreign’ language
connected to Christian colonialism.
