OPINION Somaliland needs to change its name

[Apollo]

Somaliland is the English translation of Somalia.

Somalia is Italian for Somaliland.

Somalia sounds better.

The Italian language is the best sounding language in the world, not cooning, just facts. It uses more vowels than most languages.

I don’t think many people will disagree with you there.

 

[Hardrock]

Has a half Somalilander I’m suggesting to change the country’s name to SHANKARONIA as one of the best five Somali region, Beacon of peace, democracy and human rights champion.

Putland jubbaland mayland benadirland they all secretly want to be SLand

 

[Som]

Finland, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Thailand, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Somaliland

All names of theme parks in the pea size brain of the retarded somalians

Land is Germanic so it's obvious that Iceland, Scotland or england are derived from the native languages.
Poland, Finland, Thailand etc are just English translation. The polish call their country Polska, the Finnish call their country Suomi and the Thais just fall themselves Thai.
Somalia comes from the term Somali which was latinized by Italian with the final A to mean land of the somalis. I think our name was much cooler when we called ourselves Somali Republic as the word "somali" is an indigenous name. If I was a lander i would prefer Waqooyi as a name since it means north but also has a traditional significance derived from the ancient somali god Waaq.

Anyway now it's too late, Swaziland changed it's name to eswatini which is indigenous but everyone still calls them Swaziland.

 

[NordicSomali]

Eng land ?
Deutchs land?
Fin land?

 

[MANGO]

Change it to Republic of Berbera, a la Djibouti or Tunisia, Algeria, Mexico, Kuwait and Brazil. It's got historical background aswell, people used to call the whole region that since at least the 8th Century.

Demonym: Berberawi or Berberi lool

South/north Korea will eventually be unified.

The rest are either in different continents or countries have totally different ethnicities & languages, sorry try again.

just admit it your British masters f*cked up when they invented that name

Somalia is also Latin version of Somaliland. One is in English and the other is in Latin which the Italians picked for you. Looks like the Joke is in you as well .

niger-Nigeria are similar as well in culture and ethnicity
This ain’t it adeer

that makes zero sense. All most all modern country names used today are latin derivations. Start from australia to india and check yourself.

"niger-Nigeria are similar as well in culture and ethnicity"

only half of Niger are similar.

 

[Wakai]

Somalish should be a thing

only half of Niger are similar.

Many countries have Latin “IA” suffix and there are also plenty who have “Land” suffix as well. my brother you don’t have much of argument here .

bu bu Nigeria and Niger are half similar and Korea will unify lol

The point is you trashed SL for having colonial English name when Somalia is also colonial Latin name otherwise it would be named “ Dhulkii Soomaaliyeed “

somal is the correct name. the somali name for india should be hind like arabic. because indians are called hindi. just like somalis are called somali. because the name should be somal. -ia -land are foreign suffixes.

It has nothing to do with the name.
The trend with the Somalians is, anything to do with Somaliland, hate it extremely. These people are not mentally stable mate

I have to go with french and Arabic as the top beautiful languages in the world. French was always rated above Italian and although gulf Arabic isn't rated as much, I think it's one of the most gorgeous languages.
