Quick question

[Apollo]

@government Did you now Mozambique is named after some Arab trader, lol. Musa Al-Big or something.

Edit: After this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mussa_Bin_Bique\

And Madagascar is a misspelling of Mogadishu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar#Etymology

 

[Fiidmeer]

just speculations but it's not a british somaliland thing as someone tried to make it into. Read about Ottoman Somaliland, there's even ottoman architecture in Berbera.

Stop spreading misinformation. Ottomans did not rule Somaliland. Kulhala colonized, Turks never invaded the Somalis.

In fact, it was only nominal with the Ottoman Empire. Sharmake and his descendants exercised real authority in Zeila, Berbera to even Afar coastal territories.

@Fiidmeer Do you know Sharmarke Ali Saleh? He was the most powerful Somali ruler in the 19th century and the richest too. He was Isaaq. Here: https://www.revolvy.com/page/Sharmarke-Ali-Saleh

Banana grows in the south so it the correct term is Moos.

Wtf is Muus

Muus (Moose) is actually the correct way to pronounce it, it's southerners that have it wrong. Its an Arab word موز . Botanists and taxonomists actually classify the Banana tree in the Genus Musa.

From wiki :

Musa is one of two or three genera in the family Musaceae; it includes bananas and plantains. Around

70 species of Musa are known, with a broad variety of uses.
The genus Musa was first named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.[2] The name is a Latinization of the Arabic name for the fruit, mauz (موز). Mauz meaning Musa is discussed in the 11th-century Arabic encyclopedia The Canon of Medicine, which was translated to Latin in medieval times and well known in Europe.[Note 1] Muz is also the Turkish, Persian, and Somali name for the fruit. Some sources assert that Musa is named for Antonius Musa, physician to the Emperor Augustus.[3] The word "banana" came to English from Spanish and Portuguese, which in turn apparently obtained it from a West African language (possibly Wolof).[4]

Why would we have an Arabic name for a Somali fruit we had 1000s of years

Something to think about

 

[kickz]

Team Aabe and moos checkin in.

It doesn't matter if Somalis were cultivating Bananas, the name is still Arabic in origin. And us Waqooyis have the proper pronounciation

What is Moos



Arabs themselves spread the Banana globally and were responsible for its introduction in many places. They could have introduced it to Somalis. I doubt Somalis first domesticated Bananas. Do you have any sources on the history of Banana Cultivation in Somalia?.

Somalis were trading with various empires long before Arabs even had a civilisation.

Arabs just steal other people's hard work, then pretend they were ones who discovered. Without the Prophet pbuh, they would no different to Aztecs
