Somali/Japanese language Connection?

[bareento]

Masha Allah

James,
u have to update your database: Somalis are no longer the sons and daughters of Arab Qureyshii sheekhs!
At the latest news, they r the sons and daughters of Japanese seamen who miraculously ended up on a tree/or had a spritual battle against local chiefs ...

The names of those japanese qoreeyshites sheekhs were Al sheekh al kabiir Watanabe bin hashim and Al sheekh al-aazim Shimumora bin Hashim

Thnk u james

Its always oromos i meet that know somali. Ive never met a somali that knows to speak oromo.

[bareento]

many somali tribes do speak oromo language.
in the north Issaa (reer-geeddii); some Gadabursii, warra Garrii (Ghirii), sheekhaash, different Hawiye clans living with Arsis.
and the mysterious, wild and exotic nations of Boon/tuni cluster in the south somalia (or its kenya?).
further south the Garree and Degodia do speak oromo too.

In fact there are more somali clans speaking Oromo.

I think in the south both languages comes more closer.

Bareento where you been sahibii....working on new bantu theories maybe?

[Gara Man]

gara man,

I'm sure you're Oromo (if I remember correctly) which wouldn't make Somali your language

I know its not my language, i have never said it was. I was just pointing out a funny part of the content she wrote!

Sometime back, I was searching for something and found that there is an ethnic group called Biyo in China and I know of that there is a tribe called Biyo-Maal in Somalia so I wondered if there was any connection...just like you here

English Somali comparison is better and makes more sense.

There are many Orormos who are experts on the Somali language, not surprising due to the similarities between both languages

Why does Tigray music sound like a car breaking down?
