Gurey Al Maqdishi is probably whats meant where Maqdishi was the Somali kingdoms (may or may not include Adal which is besides the point)
Because Arabs are not Portuguese nor Amharic speakers maybe?
Ajan is a portuguese mispronounciation of bar al ajam, what I'm saying is Arabs knew about Mogadishu sultanate why didn't the chronicle say المقادشة or sm thing similar?Because Arabs are not Portuguese nor Amharic speakers maybe? the Arabs transliterate all the time, they even transliterate words they first translated to the Latin authors. Ibn Said says he met the Hawiye هاوية of East Africa. The Europeans a few centuries later call it the Ajan coast, shortly after new Arab writers then rewrite the same location their predeccesors visited as اجان. It seems Machidas is another one of Arabs translating Habasha terminology.
Does anyone have the original manuscript of these chronicles?Gurey Al Maqdishi is probably whats meant where Maqdishi was the Somali kingdoms (may or may not include Adal which is besides the point)
Nah that’s false and I debunked it with hardcore proof. Ajan is Hawiye. Go through these threads so you get a deeper understanding of things.Ajan is a portuguese mispronounciation of bar al ajam,
Thanks bro.

How can ajan=hawiye tho? Also numerous yemeni manuscripts call somalia bar al ajamThanks bro.
It was never bar al ajam, not a single map calls it ajam but they all call it ajan or bar al ajan (land of hawiye) or sahil al ajan (coast of hawiye). Ajam means non arabic speaker and is a linguistic term not a geographical or tribal term like ajan/hawiye. If it was a geographical or tribal term then 95% of the world would be called bar al ajam since most ppl arent arabic speakers
Stop lying bro it makes you look dumbHow can ajan=hawiye tho? Also numerous yemeni manuscripts call somalia bar al ajam

Here I start. It says here "Ajan ou Haouya" (this means "Ajan or Hawiye") in french. It doesn't get more obvious than this.

The claim that auca gurela is a misspelling of aussa is a big claim. They are two separate words denoting a city. Even if you accept Auca as a misspelling of Aussa wtf is gurela? Also that map is all over the place fatagar being north of kingdom of mogadisu? Adel being so deep into present day Ogaden and nugaal territory? That was the land on the outlying parts of the Adal Sultanate ruled by Emir Hirabu.
