No worries lift thou head up as thou have noble samaale blood running thy veins.

Tell him his welcome and that he should give the suldaan his due rights

Apologies for being late, he should've created an account but decided against it and had me to write down his answers

This is what he has answered:

1. Yeah, there's slang in the sign language (I use British Sign Language). There's even dialects in the sign language. I can't think of a language where dialects and slangs don't exist.

2. Alhamdulillah all of them can communicate with me. It's actually quite sad thinking about it, more than 3/4 of my deaf friends cannot communicate with their family beyond basic gestures.

3. I'm unmarried It's a struggle finding a spouse who are willing to love me for who I am. I'm worried I will not be able to find somebody to settle down with.

4. I went to a deaf school (not a residential).

5. Not really. I mean, I can lipread some words but it's not useful to rely on it. Not many rely on lipreading alone anymore those days.

6. Unfortunately yes. A lot more than I've been discriminated because of my ethnicity/colour. I feel sad when people treat me differently because I never did anything wrong to deserve that treatment. It often happens in situation where I'm stuck with them, I can't just dump them and find another friends, people or whatever.

His answer:

Sorry but I don't want to reveal my career, I am only deaf Somali with my career but it is good career.
