Shocked to learn that there is lack of asalnimo in somali culture

[Burbax]

sambusa-comes from south asia
macawiis-comes from south asia
dirac-possible yemeni origins
sabbayaad-yemeni origins
-30 percent of somali words come from arabic
-somali koofiyaad comes from oman/yemen
-the belt that somali men wear with their white clothes might come from yemen and oman

I am honestly hoping alindi is somali because I have seen some other people rock it too

and then waxan dhacnay carab dhiig through abtiris

 

[Nilotic]

I love sambusas and I don't really care where it came from

 

[Burbax]

I love sambusas and I don't really care where it came from

it's not about that in general. somali seems like a mix of cultures

Sambusa isn’t south Asian. It’s from Iran.

India has done a number on the world by tricking everyone that it’s from them.

That sort of cultural assimilation is inevitable when a Nation occupies an area that has access to the sea and literally neighbours another continent.

The only food Somali people ate before foreign contact was meat and camel milk.

i don't believe this. what about fruits and seafood

 

[hinters]

Yeah, I guess our "true" Somali culture is the nomadic, goat herding lifestyle

[Al-Ma'mun]

We grew Sorghum/Maize and other agricultural stuff.Not all of us were savage malnutriotion stricken camel herders.My ancestors farmed and owned cattle and tons of horses for war in our fertile plains

 

[Nomadic lord]

he means cusbo.

 

[Bundasliga]

Salt

 

[Periplus]

Only 10% to 15% of Somali words are derived from arabic.

Most put it at 30 percent as average. A lot of the Arabic loan words have been Somalised so it’s untraceable unless you already speak Arabic.

That percentage is even higher in Somaliland where they basically speak an Arabic-Somali hybrid.

 

[Hamzza]

We are carabs

 

[Bundasliga]

The only food Somali people ate before foreign contact was meat and camel milk.

The only food Italian people are before foreign contact was pizza & pasta

milix is salt. Og somali says "cusbo"
