Why don't Somalis use the osmanya?

You need to accept that the Osmanya script is dead. We have used Arabic for centuries and most Somalis can read Arabic with harakat I would say the same for the Latin script, but probably a lot less. What would we gain by trying to teach these squiggly lines to people? We would gain nothing, only the niggas that feel inferior to Arabs and whites would get an ego boost.

Majority of Somalis cannot even read or speak Arabic, you know what is inferior in my eyes, speaking colonial foreign language and using their script. Yes we do gain from having our script.

Nothing is true; everything is permitted
Why is it stupid for preserving osmanya and wanting go be proud to wite our language. If this was Arabic you wouldn't say anything.
it's stupid because you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist or isn't a high priority at all. I'd be against arabic as well. people like you seem to think little things like this will make somalis "proud", well i'll tell you what would make them proud. it'd be actually focusing on real world problems instead of stuff like this. Maybe once there is a working government, we can try to come up with another script, but now our resources/attention is better spent on other more pressing issues.

We don’t use Osmanya because the SYL never seriously considered it as a viable script.

Two different sources agree with this….
