Ive been doing a little research into somali historical Influence in South Eastern Indian ocean and I came across alot of differing views on the Hilaale Dynasty and specifically about its somali influence
Post in thread 'Somalis established a ruling dynasty in Maldive islands.' https://www.somalispot.com/threads/...dynasty-in-maldive-islands.40497/post-1072270
The link here is from a previous thread explaining the possibility of the Hilaale Dynasty being from somali descent however a particular Maldivian on reddit thinks other wise
I've posted the link to his answer, it's a long but if anybody is willing to give an unbiased properly documented review of both sources and give a proper conclusion I'd be most grateful
This is an incredibly interesting subject and very niche topic which I've had a passing interest on for quite a while
