Somalia needs to make English one of the official languages and teach it alongside Somali in school

[babooshke]

English is literally the language of the world, It is very important that individuals know english so they can branch out.

 

[Xasusi]

Not official. Just make it a mandatory subject to be taught.

Only Somali should be the official language.

Arabic is currently an official language, but I'm sure that's just to appease our Middle-East relations

How?

 

[babooshke]

How?

Because the vast majority of Somalis only know arabic to the extent of the quran.

According to some stats not many people speak a second language in Somalia, that's why
we a need a 21st Century Language Policy that's going spell out the Language system,
that we will be using in the Next 50 years.

I do understand the Political/Cultural sensitivities of putting foreign languages as official.
Only Somali and Arabic should be official languages.

English should be Academic Semi Government Language.

Do you think the Current world order will exist in near future?

The world is changing and what matters is to preserve our identity. English is the tongue of the devil

 

[Shmurda]

Nah bro we should force Arabic down their throats and eventually get rid of Somali as a language all together

 

[DalsanJubiland]

if you lose your language, you lose your culture,
'to make English as official language of somalia'
most stupidest idea, i have ever heard
is trouble idea.
Somalis will loose their identity, their culture and their beautiful language.

 

[Pioneer]

Lets take Malays as an Example. Every Malay in Malaysia is bilingual thats one of the reasons
Malaysia is Rich. English as a Academic Language.

Somalis in Nfd did not Lose Af-Somali Because they speak English.

 

[Pioneer]

Our Fathers and Grandparents in 40s 50s 60s spoke three Languages Somali, Arabic and
English.

Sijus speak disgusting Somali, who are you kidding

 

[Genesis]

English should be taught in schools as it's the lingua franca of the world but the official language should only be SOMALI, Arabic has no place there.

In fact, in Somalia, there should be cultural classes teaching students about the various Somali scripts like Borama/Osmanya as a means of retaining our own culture.

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

Spanish should be the official language

 

[karkaar]

it shouldn't be the official but it should be a mandatory school suject
