Somalia is likely to become an Arabized country like Sudan

40% of Somali words are Arabic in origin and with the arrival of more Arabic speaking people in Somalia expect the language to evolve further, soon Somali will become a Pidgin variant of Arabic. I welcome and support this the more Arabic included in Af-Somali the better, the future is bleak for Arabphobes.

I'll say 15% but with that logic we should be a westernised country too, as we have a lot of Italian and English loanwords. Somalia is incredibly close to the arabian peninsula, yet we less arab influence than most muslim African countries as we at least have af-somali (our native language) as our first language unlike them.

Nah, the Italian loanwords are slowly getting phased out from Southern Somali .

Nothing is true; everything is permitted
Its 40% the more North you go the more you'll notice Arabic influence I see Northern odayaals saying yacni I bet we've reached the 50% threshold
why couldn't it be that the reason we have similar words for the same thing is due to the two languages belonging in the same family? like why always assume that we copied stuff if u see other people doing the same thing?

Its a win for us Carab Soomaal, my ancestors will see their sons reclaim their language and heritage inshallah
I believe the Somali language will die out for the Somali diaspora within 25 years. It’s best to start learning Arabic and creating our own dialect.
