I have actually explored these, I just don't know much about them. I know that Habeshas keep records of their lineage and I have a couple of them on abtirsi.com.
I only know a little bit of af-Maxaa

The funny thing is, if he didn't do it, nobody would have.

Most of what he has in abtirsi.com , is not accurate. I wonder where he got them from.

Lol abtirsi.com is redundant. The whole point of abtirsi is that it's oral.

Insomniac · Post by **Insomniac** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:09 pm

Yes because Somalis have this aversion to record keeping and writing. :comeon:

9? That seems like a bit of an arbitrary number?

I have no plans to.

If you have corrections I should make, feel free to either make them or bring them to my attention

I actually agree, though I think the oral traditions of Somalis are already disappearing.

Insomniac wrote:Yes because Somalis have this aversion to record keeping and writing.

Well, actually yes. Not aversion exactly, but the Somali language had no written form until the 19th century and the current alphabet was developed in the 20th. Literature before this was entirely in Arabic and very little of it was about anything of genealogical value, mostly religious treatises or poetry. There are actually many clans who have died out, and knowledge of them died with them, since there were no descendants to carry on the oral traditions, or the traditions have become lost or forgotten over the centuries.
