okk why do u guys say nandho??? I thought u guys say sakkal?? can you say 100 for me??
the reason I keep asking you is to show you where u got those numbers from those are numbers used by Cushitic speakers.. esieet is a corruption of sideed the somali word and so is tohomon its really toban
Ive have a maasai homie In Tanzania he told me somalis come from maasai which I don't beleive lol... but I do believe we are closely related.... when he counted he said sakkal(sagaal in somali) for #9 instead of nandho.....and Iraqw language sounds too funny I thought you guys were are bros wtff??
The number nine sounds maybe a bit more like 'naun' and then 'dho'. I have no idea who says sakkal, I just know the naun'dhu sounding one. We have borrowed a bit from Datooga and Kiswahili, but I am surprised at the slight resemblance between the words of Somali and Maa that you highlighted. However, if you see our Iraqw Bible and poetry works, it is of course similar to other Cushitic languages. I think it closer to Borana people, we did come through Ethiopia after all. Nilo-Hamitic are much more distinct linguistically. For one hundred it is tsiiruu, and Maasai say iip which is equivalent to a hundred, but is actually only sixty if that makes sense.
I think Somalis are some proto-Cushitic/Nilotic who mixed with West Eurasians. Nilo-Saharans like Turkana, Samburu, Maasai, Rendhile have Cushitic ancestry from you guys, rather than the other way I believe.
