Will somali dhaqan survive in the west?

[BetterDaysAhead]

How confident are you that the future generation of somalis in the west will have dhaqan?

 

[Desert Flower]

Somalis born in the west don’t even speak Somali so high chance that yes, the dhaqaan will be lost.

 

[Apollo]

They will copy Arabs or African-Americans/New World Blacks for their cultural needs. Already this is happening.

 

[Genesis]

What Dhaqan? It's already long gone

 

[Marcus]

Its not important, they dont live in Somalia. Even as early migrants we didnt coalesce like the jews, its too late now.

 

[المهندس]

Even though i would like it to survive.. the evidences on social media point to it being completely gone within two generations.

It might survive if we actually put some effort in maintaining our daqan

Survive? It's already gone and it only took one generation to go.

Somalis are already too fragmented as a community. The ones who succeed leave and only the ciyaal suuq remain. So one group will assimilate into white culture and the latter will assimilate into black culture.

How can the language survive?

AA’s are way more culturally influential in the west than Arabs I don’t see many western Somalis copying Arabs

Only a minority will be assimilated/absorbed into the White majority. Most will be assimilated into either a Pan-Black western identity or a Pan-Muslim identity that is heavily Arabised.

It depends on where, in Europe some Somalis definitely do copy Arabs (outside of the context of Islam). Lots of Somalis learn Arabic, watch Arab media, frequently visit Arab countries. There is an influence coming from them.

I sometimes wonder if our own culture is weak why all this copying

The root cause of this issue is the state of Somalia. Unfortunately, it will encourage the youth to seek out other cultures/identities and neglect their own.

I always wonder what Somalis would be like today if the war never happened

Yep, spot on.

I have even seen diaspora Somalis into Indian/Hindi shit.
