I've asked you before to add "I am mixed-race" disclaimer to your account so that people can see why you are incentivised to respond in certain ways.

Reading a book in Somali is like doing math in Somali. There is nothing to gain from it

That makes no sense. Math is universal, 1+1 is the same in English, Chinese, Spanish and Somali. Language on the other had is distinctly personal, tying someone to a clear identity.

There's no reason for books in the homeland to be written in English unless they're required to.

This is why I prefer mixed-Somalis with Somali mothers, they have more dhiig and culture.
But the abtiris police likes to come for them.

How would you write a complex proof in Somali? The language is not vast enough for this. Hence why it is preferable to do in English

If the library is designed for children which it looks like it is then Somali books fit, at high school English should be taught. Somali isn't vast but it isn't shallow either, it has many loan words from those we've interacted but also ancient words native to us. I'd prefer our language be preserved in speech and text. English would be good at a business and higher level of education, same with Arabic or Mandarin.

What specifically? The reason people write in English is for accessibility and formality not because the logical symbolism of proofs is too esoteric for most languages lmao.

 

[Celery]

Even more important than the language they’re written in, what information is contained in these books? It better be factual and useful information.
