It looks cool, maybe it can be PL states official scirpt. I rather use Kaddare script as it is phonologically the most sound one for our language.

1. For me first would be Arabic(most practical).
2. Kaddare because it is indigenous and is most suited for the Somali language.
3. Latin.
4. Osmanya

Arabic is not suitable for the Somali language
Kaddare is too difficult to write and the script has never been used nor books published in it
and itself influenced by Osmanya
Latin is ugly alphabet tbh and does not seem write writing in our language

We can make the Arabic script suitable for the Somali language it doesn't take much effort to be honest. All that is missing are certain vowels.

Kaddare is more suitable for the Somali language and easier to write all the experts agreed on those facts. Its greatest shortcoming was it was very young and was yet to enjoy nationwide recognition.

Looks quite pretty to me and I think with enough practice one can make some superb calligraphy.

I do agree that latin script is bland and boring. But I rather keep it than switch to Cismaaniya script.

Why are you against the osmanya script as it very simple and easy to write in Af Soomaali
 
Majority Somalis can read the arabic script with ease. The only exception being you ciyaal say wallahi. Since when is arabic script a colonial one you knucklehead

he has a severe case of insecurity and self-hate. I hate SomHoteps so much.

How do i have a case of self hate or insecurity you dumb nacaas, as i'm proud Somali and i do not want a bastardised non Somali script to write our language.

Actually the Somali Youth League espoused in article 5(d) of its statute the cause of the Somali language as the future language of the country, and of a Somali script - the Osmania.

Doesn’t change the fact that they used to write in the Latin script and promoted that script when elected to government.

They abandoned the idea of Osmanya script after 1950s, but your statement "SYL never seriously considered the Osmanya script" is wrong.

When they made a commission into implementing a script, the two seriously considered were Arabic and Latin.

Words is one thing but action matters.
