But Was Faar Wadaad Exclusive To Somaliweyn Or Just SomalilandI know you is being funny with this sentiment, walaal, but it would be very foolish for one region of Somaliweyn to cordon itself off from the rest of Somalis with a different script. These regional borders you're all so invested in are not all that important economically. Somaliweyn is very economically interdependent and connected from Jabuuti down to Koonfur. Not smart for one region to use a script the others can't read.

Okej But What Do You Think About The Other Suggestions The Dance And The WordsIt was all over the place, as far as I know. Arabic was the writing system of all literate Somalis, north and south. And using it for Somali was never truly standardized. People in different regions just did it in different ways.

YES North To South, You Agree Af Somali Need New Words Tho I Mean The Ladies Don't Have A Word For Husband To Us They Can't Call Us Wadaad I Would Feel So OldI support you, brother. Send me videos of the dances. We will disseminate them together starting with Bosaso.
To south Africa, naclaaYeah, they supported us with cheap petrol and co-financed a petrol refinery in Xamar so that we could save more money.
I think there was an issue in the 1980's cos the Kacaan sold the refined petrol for a massive profit to South Africa which pissed off the Arab League as Sth Africa was under sanctions.

Dad waligooda carab ladhaqmin mise taarikh soomali wax ka garaaneenin, oo cuqdad iskaaga buuxdo ayaa meesha ku badan sxb.Also the narrative that Arabs brought nothing but trouble is kind of a self-defeating argument.
Somalia would have been colonised until 1990 and probably similar to Djibouti but with a larger European population had it not been for Egpyt advocating for our independence and throwing money at the SYL. If were not for them, this forum would be in Italian.
Throughout the Kacaan years, the Arab nations subsidised our petrol prices and co-financed a refinery so that the we would save on petroleum costs. As Somalia predominantly relied on petrol for electricity generation, their friendly measures essentially powered the country for a generation.
Feel free to criticise Arabs today but Somalis dismissing the impact of Arab nations on our country's existence is in extremely bad taste.

Before independence, Somali was written in the Arabic script and any body who finished school was fluent in Arabic. The most famous Somali history book written by a Somali (Futuh al Habash) is written in Arabic.
