It's like English with French.. something on the order of 30% of Somali vocabulary coming from Arabic.Just great more people will start asking if Somali is a localized adaptation of Arabic. When it's a completely different language group with some loan words.

What I want to know is what are true Somali words, when Arabic, English, Ethiopian, Afar, Italian, Indian, and Persian loan words are taken out.Just great more people will start asking if Somali is a localized adaptation of Arabic.

Words which have no foundation in Somali are borrowed from Arabic or other languages.It's like English with French.. something on the order of 30% of Somali vocabulary coming from Arabic.
