I have come to realise that the somali we use day to day is very lacking vocabulary wise, I have observed this within somalis back home and the ones in the diaspora, we tend to use arabic, italian and english words rather than using somali words that actually exist for some reason to the point that they become obsolete ie weekdays in contemporary somali. Also using words from the somali dictionaries are of no use as others wont understand and so you cant practice your newly acquired vocabulary, not to mention the scarcity of books written in somali which mostly do not even use proper somali and contain cliche qabyaalad. If somali continues like this, it will become a creole. Us diaspora somalis are exacerbating it too.
