Im suspicious waryaa how do both of your parents speak Italian
But anyways
My father speaks Somali English and Arabic
My mother speaks Somali English Arabic amxara and Swahili if you count af jiini as a language my mom speaks it too

 

[Arman]

I am not lying. My parents are a bit old and lived during the late colonial and early post-colonial period. And of course you can't function in Germany without knowing German. He learned Arabic for religious reasons. The Amharic one is the most odd one, but he really does.

You still haven't made an excuse for af-maay. I hear you are a P/Lander, why do your parents know that one?

Father went to study in Italy.
Mother did some tourism stuff in Mogadishu.

It was fairly natural in the old days.

Nowadays, nobody knows Italian in Somalia.

I keep forgetting that you guys are million years old

When the civil war broke out my parents wanted to live in Italy, but they realized the place was too mafioso, so they went up to Switzerland.

Thank God my father already lived in the US before the civil war or else I would've ended up in Europe
