Do you know about these folk, once I visited a swedish speaking city, and got violated when I spoke Finnish, straight racism, once a cashier didn't like me not speaking swedish, or serving in English. Then she said speak the language of the country and try to integrate, it was kinda a dilemma since Finnish and swedish are both official languages and spoke as mother tongue by the Finnish citizens.Darods who lived in Bay pre-civil war were bigoted mofos who only associated with Maxa speaking Darods and refuse to speak Maay at home despite some of them living there for several generations.
Linguistic divides can bring out a lot of bigotry, even worse than tribalism. Look up Finland Swedes who speak Swedish as their 1st language and how they piss off local ethnic Finns.
Dooro means chicken where I'm from. you guys say digaag which is Arabic (Dijaaj)
that attitude is going to make us like sudan

All of the Words you posted are not loanwords that we borrowed from Hebrew. Some of the words you listed are just cognates that we share with Hebrew and are equally native in both languages [such as Abo & Ani etc.] and Arabic loanwords.Yes you're absolutely right, we don't know who borrowed what from whom!

I've already mentioned that 'Ani' is an Afro-Asiatic cognate that we share with Hebrew. What makes you say 'Aniga' is creole with Nilotic?Ani is Afro-Asiatic.
Aniga is creole with Nilotic.

whats a somali doing hanging out with TWO arabs? you never wanna be the odd one out in trio. its either a trio of one ethnicity or a trio of three ethnicitiesTwo Arab (Yemen and Palestine) and one Somali girls did a language comparison video. A lot of the words they compared were similar.
The controversy was that the Arab girls laughed at two of the Somali words, which was inappropriate. In spite of this, the Somali girl did call watermelon "khare", which is poop in Arabic.
