Somalis were used to Latin.
Typewriters were Latin.
Osmanya script looks like Ahmaric

change script to arabic this would be beneficial and make it easier for future somalis to stay connected to the religion and pick up arabic as a second language .

I like the Latin script for Somali.

Only thing I hate are the double vowels. They are annoying as hell. They should use vowel diacritics instead.

Altered Arabic. If Urdu and Persian have it then so can we.
We read the Qur'an so transitioning would be much easier and swift.

I see, I would be against that since any more arabization is a threat.
It seems the only way we would have osmanya is through independence

Looks so much more authentic than latin.

Indeed, we need our own script ASAP it reflects on civilization and heritage. This text below is apparently about divorce.

We should use Kaddare because it was considered the best indigenous script.
