[Caesar]

These Sumaado ones? I can't read it yet im trying to learn from my cousin, I emailed him stuff and Im waiting for his response on our views on it.
I just know the sumaado marks for certain clans currently and how they came to be etc.

if somalis ( even ) had a berber script why can't they remember to write or read it????

somali scripts are all relatively new, nobody knows the ancient one it was forgotten.

The retard is referring to the Tamazight script of the people of the Maqhrib. The Berbers in North African have nothing to do with Cushitic Somalis.....it's just a historical similarity in the name that both places/groups share. It would've made more sense if he suggested the Borama script or something.....

fams can read B script

true china what does the tauregs have to do with somali geeljiers who cant even f-king read. what can literacy do to camel herders. they never had a script until what colonial days

we stick to roman script but each clan learns their own far. that's how its should be

Didn't wanna brag about my parents , so i xishowed for Islam . Meanwhile I am learning ancient scripts mashallah for freeeee!! tribe is good for gaining knowledge ( the very least)

^ The other day you were cursing tribes.

[Caesar]

Eh I meant I am against tribalism hate and discrimination And racism , I don't mind learning my ancient script from them at no cost. That has nothing to do with 'tribalism' the act of discrimination. Also I meant 'tribes are good etc' as a joke (clearly) pertaining to how tribes keep history I like learning , Islam says to seek knowledge. And I will learn The ancient script!! For free

[ZubeirAwal]

Tribes structure society and the Somali clan system was effective prior to colonization, every tribe did their best to keep to their own, there was hardly any contact between opposing tribes.

[Caesar]

But most wars were started by and about tribes apart from religious wars of course. Plus in tribal structures etc midgaan and other groups are treated like shit just because of something the can't change that's not progress.

[ZubeirAwal]

How the midgaan are treated is indead unislamic, that pre-Islamic Somali behavior has to change if Somalis wish to progress. The arabs had similar views to other tribes from amongst themselves, the prophet broke tribalism in Arabia and united them, then 100 years later the arabs were in Spain and Persia

[Caesar]

Agree Islam is key but we have to avoid radicalism like al Shabaab , Somalis broke tribalism once , we conquered the entire Ethiopia and the horn was ours for the taking

Yes! Fcking Yes! Do you know how embarrassing it is to use another cultures alphabet? Look at any community centre and you'll see indian, arabic, chinese, begali, urdu etc scripts and "Soo Dhawow" in latin script.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the latin alphabet, if you have an irrational fear of everything foreign you will never progress in this inter connected world, we had to choose the latin alphabet not only to adapt but also to catch up with the industrialized world in order to stay competitive.

Very insecure of you to feel embarrassed of your own written language. Progressive muslim nations such as Turkey, Malaysia etc use the latin alphabet and took full advantage of it for the development of their respective nations.
