Is Somali a Somali word if not where it originate from
Some say it's a Italian nameAccording to Somalis they said the word originates from "Soomaal" Soo Maal , which litterly translates to go milk the livestock , which never made no sense to me and believe there is another meaning for it.
I think that somalia--- ia is the part where italians called the country as. Not the word somaliSome say it's a Italian name
How about Somali part without a AI think that somalia--- ia is the part where italians called the country as. Not the word somali
It's censoredIts a derivative of the ancient name Zooomali
It's censored
Isn't that the term habashrs and landers use to call somalisI wonder why Zooomalii is censored
How does one even maal biyo its not an animal?Imma tell what I heard;
There are those who say the word came from
Soomaal= soo + maal
It means go and milk as most somalis kept livestocks
There are others who say it came from
Samaale? (Father of somali people) or Dir people? @Daughter of samaale
Basically somalis were divided into two
Biyo+maal not biimal(clan) and soo+maal
Those who depended mostly on fishing as they neared the ocean
Soo + maal(xoolo dhaqato) nomads basically
