The Real Meaning Of Mogadishu

[Maakhri2024]

The old name of bosaso was bandar qasim and we have a town in bari called bandar beyla

bandar is a persian word for port, I always wondered as to how much the Persians influenced our regions

The Persian word Bandar for " port ",
does not imply Persian hegemony or dominance along the Somali coast , it is not a political rule.

Rather, its presence there reflects its status as a wanderwort: a wandering loanword that has diffused widely across unrelated languages and cultures .

Its widespread usage: in the Persian/Arabian Gulf ,Yemen, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Swahili coast.

# "Wanderwort / wandering word / stray word" : a word that has spread as a loanword in many languages and cultures .

singular : bandar بَنْدَر means port .
plural : banaadir بَنَادِر means ports .
