[GaradShabeel]

Swahili will never be the official language of Somalia.

​

Just like how we had to add Arabic, when we became part of the Arab Leauge. That's the package that comes along with being part of EAC.

it is interesting that a form of swahili is spoken in minute parts of somalia purportedly called bravanese. As claims this wiki article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravanese_dialect

 

[Aurelian]

If you don't see it coming yet, I gotta tell you, Swahili will be an official language.

Yes, swahili is spoken in some parts of Somalia.

 

[Yaraye]

They better take that shit off if we don’t end up joining the eac

 

[Mugi]

I don't understand the problem, swahili is the mother tongue of parts of the somalias population, it is not a foreign language like say english

 

[Lord Wrigglesworth]

Mansallah, there is no language in this world, that is unknown to somalis

 

[bidenkulaha]

Swahili is going to be an official language once we join EAC. Get used to it guys

 

[Lord Wrigglesworth]

Article 11 of the Protocol on Amendments to the Constitutive Act of the African Union states the The official languages of the Union and all its institutions shall be Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Kiswahili and any other African language.


By being member of the African union, swahili have effectively been one of officially language of the Republic of Somalia since 1963-1964

 

[Keep it a boqol]

What’s in it for Somalia to join EAC I can’t find any information or what it’ll entail besides slogans like “bigger business” and “bigger markets”

His uncle gets to loot more basically sums it up…. a country with no constitution, unity or even security agreeing to join a Pan Bantu super state is laughable

 

[El Nino]

The bajunis and the barwanis speak swahili, it should have been an official language long time ago.

 

[World]

Nothing. Somalia doesn’t have a single power plant or a national electric grid, we have no export oriented businesses because we don’t even have the electricity needed to become one. So what bigger markets and businesses are these clueless people talking about? What will happen is that whatever Somali businesses exist will eventually be taken over by Kenyan and Tanzanian businesses. Only “benefit” is that Somali people will continue to flee from Somalia to better countries like how Romanians flee to the UK.
