HSM spoke in English with Egyptian president Al Sisi. Time to cancel Arabic as co-official language.

[Woke1.4rm.Shibis]

None of the 4.5 Somalis descend from Arabs. Get over this Arab worship. Nobody dislikes arabs people dislike weirdos like you who keep trying to push us to Arabs.

Many clans in the 0.5 and 2 of the major clans descend from the arab world as a true African samaale I will kindly tell you we dont worship arabs and arab descendant in my lands of east Africa deserve to re learn their ancestral language .

2 somalis who have been in the government conversing in this beautiful tongue

Im convinced the hatred for arabs here is because they introduced islam to us and we would’ve been gaalo if it wasn’t for them. Hating arabs for no reason is one of the stages of leaving islam. It might sound im talking nonsense but it’s true

That's true. Those who hate the fact that Arabic is an official language tend to be the least religious if they have any religion at all. Either they are juhal repeating what others say, or they are munafiqs

Arabic is a beautiful language and the language of the Quran and Islam. It should be mandatory for all Somalis to be fluent in it.

يجب على كل انسان حريص في دينه ان يتعلم الغة العربية ولو كره المنافقون

I was disappointed when I watched it live that professor HSM couldn’t converse in Arabic at the press conference.

I was expecting something like this. Look how many countries we could share the Arabic language with.


Arabic is one of our official languages alongside the two af-Somali dialects. It should be compulsory for government work and taught in education as a required subject.

 

[Qeelbax]

Arabic:

- Beautiful language

- Qur'an recited in Arabic

- We've historically had an Arabic script

- Nothing but good brotherly relations with arabs historically


English

- Language of our oppressors and colonisers

- 0 long-term history with English

- English speaking nations have killed our people on occasions

Btw Sharif Sheikh Ahmed spoke good Arabic, and you'll find somalis who can speak this beautiful tongue. I hope we place great emphasis on teaching our people this beautiful language, even if pathetic europhiles seethe and mald

Lol arabs ain’t shit either, if anything they are worse than the english.

Arabic only sounds pleasant to muslims. Also we haven’t been “nothing but good relations” with arabs. With clashed with them in the past and present.

 

[Qeelbax]

Not only is the holy book written in arabic but alot of the citizens In our nation descend from the Arab world .

Who?

His arabic somewhat ok, it was pathetic at start, but he is ok, he sounds like an prepared monolith speech, no natural.

He used some words in wrong way, like " and other states to start to pay" he sounded like they owned something to us.

 

[Deleted L]

Hell, most Somalis living in the Gulf cant speak Arabic fluently, they get by with English.

This is bullshit. Most Somalis in the Gulf were born and raised there, they speak Arabic fluently as their first language.

Probably doesn’t use it much anymore. He used to be the head Imam at Finsbury Mosque a couple decades ago after Abu Hamza (famous terrorist sheikh) was arrested.

oh, anyway I can't unhear him speaking in that way that they have to pay as in " you better start pay", im sorry i keep repeating it, but this not how beggars should speak.

 

[GemState]

Most don't

Most don't

I use to live there and most actually speak it as their first language

 

[Manafesto]

Somalia has Arabic as an official language but almost nobody including our president speaks it. Egyptians are confused,they are thinking why is an Arab league president speaking English to us?
If we are going to keep Arabic as co official then at least leaders should speak it , not fluently but the bare minimum to hold a public speech in standard Arabic.
I believe Farmaajo also didn't speak Arabic, and I never heard Siad Barre speaking it.
Only Sh. Shariif speaks Arabic to a good level cause he studied in Sudan and is a wadaad

I don't know how you guys are even Muslims and you don't speak in Arabic, both of them go hand to hand, a Muslim must know the literal translation of the holly Quran both in his native language and Arabic.

I mean,that is what they thought us in school in Bossaso and PL,by the time you finished the Quran translation as awhole you should know Arabic by then, I swear that is all, almost 45% words,phrases, grammer should be sufficient for someone to the earn the language.

So I guess you boys didn't learn the Quran translation and that is why you are lacking in your Arabic language, just finish the translation of the Quran and I guarantee you would know about 50-75% of the standardized Arabic language.

Ahmed Madoobe speaks Arabic. So did the first 3 ONLF presidents of Ogadeniya in early 1990s.

Siad bare spoke English. Italian so did ina Sharmarke and most likely Adan cade

caydid spoke Russian and Italian

Adan gabyo spoke fluent Italian and Russian as he was trained and educated in both countries

Hamza speaks fluent Arabic and English. Did his first degree in Yemen and lived there for many years before going to Malaysia for masters.

my dad speaks Arabic. Somalis do speak Arabic. Specially older generation who went to Arab countries before Somalia collapsed for business or work or just lived there

manyabtis speak Arabic. Lives in Saudi and did business there

average Somali Middle aged man speaks Arabic.

Regadless. Ban Arabic as its a foreign tongue and does not sit well with my racialist nationalist believes

why should we adopt
The foreign tongue of a foreigner. Does the foreigner speak our language ?

if it’s for Islam. Learn it in dugsi and keep it for the Islamic studies.

also whilst we are at it. Ban foreign foods like pasta and Arabic foods and also ban the Kamiiz and force people to wear Somali national clothes.

wearing kaamiz is so foreign. Also it has nothing to do with Islam. It’s a new age invention.

ban it. Ban all foreign elementary. Ban Italian too

our race should come first. The older I got the more I enjoy and love being a nationalist extreme right wing

you can learn the deen but it does not mean you need to learn Arabic or speak Arabic

even if you learn it. As the president of the nation don’t speak another man’s tongue

Putin speaks Russian in Germany despite speaking fluent German as he wa former kgb German based spy he also speaks English but demands to have Russian translated to his host

so don’t speak a foreign tongue when you are the head of state.

keep your deen private and if you speak it keep it private. But in national arena speak your national tongue

when arab leaders learn Somali. Then we will learn Arabic and speak it in public

how is your journey going bro? I read you thread yesterday saying your thinking of coming back to Islam.

if you need someone to answer questions. Message me. It’s good you realised a Somali and muslim Cannot be separated.

we are here for you bro. If you need anything. Questions answered.

waryada help our boy. Don’t attack him. Advise him. Don’t rebuke him. Only Allah can judge him.

1) most Muslims don't speak Arabic fluently. I never memorized the entire Quran but I know people who did it back home with the somali style of teaching (memorization and tafsir) they still don't speak Arabic fluently to hold a basic conversation. I want to learn Arabic and the Quran, maybe you are right I'll try. Do you speak Arabic to a good level just with your Quran knowledge?
2) does this mean anybody in Somalia who doesn't speak Arabic didn't finish the Quran? Most somalis back home finished the Quran or most of it and still don't speak the language.
3) Quran Arabic is different from colloquial Arabic spoken in Egypt or other Arab countries,

Learning other languages is ok. We should just remove Arabic as an official language but no problem with learning it
