I like it and it looks very unique. But the latin script is more practical and advantageous in Somalia so i wouldn't want it changed.

Their point of pride was freedom fighting and not enslaving others as you'd like to portray, and ironically they only people they did look down on in that reality was you and not anyone else.
You have nothing to be proud of Dhaboyaco slut, you were used and abused by the perverted Italian soldiers, how many hundreds, how many thousands of your mothers did you pimp to get a pad on the head by your nazi masters, the same head you use to carry the gaal, inhaling his farts with pleasure and drinking his piss from his shoes, how many of your children did the white pedos molest whiles you watched on. No wonder you're the most sexually depraved people on the peninsula, you have been thoroughly fucked by Cadaans.

As for Dhaboyaco looking down on me, for being Reer Miyi, 1. Nothing wrong with Rer Miyi, to some, living in the Bush, being a Nomad, and having an abundance of livestock is indeed very honorable, your zenith of achievement is gagging on Italian cock, 9 years of drunkenness, prostitution, gambling and assassinating each other before we removed you, more than doubled the time we stayed in power and pissed on you like the italians use to do, the only mistake was, we didn't take the Hutu threat seriously.
2.In Somali culture it is insane to look down on someone for being Rer Miyi. Find something else, you retarded envious dhaboyaco.

Why are you ashamed of your roots, what are you ? dhaboyaco or hutu ?

I said "their", you obviously have a have a bad reading comprehension for your age because I'm not Majerteen. I'm speaking from an objective perspective whereas you are injecting emotive language and profanities to divert from the documented reality. It's sad that you harbour such hatred for a clan supposedly related yours but then again, you're the same person who dislikes subclans within Marehan which you call "lowly ba'ayeeste".

still hiding who you are ?

fadhi ku dirir etiquette dictates you make known your roots before joining in, in my first response I asked you what you are, who you are, you failed to respond because you're too ashamed and disgusted with yourself, not that I see Hutus that different from a lowly Dhaboyaco, a slave and a Italian hand maiden, Lol, both are disgusting, but your pedigree would certainly give me an idea of what appropriate treatment you deserve.

the "documented reality" you posted, says MJ considered Marehan Rer Miyi whiles seeing themselves as Rer Magaal, whiles in the same breath speaking about Marehan supremacy over them in regards to politics, scholarly achievements etc, it bespeaks envy, and that is a very known trait of the MJs. That's just about the gist of it, this is your insult against me ? HAha what a lowly midgaan.

The Latin script will remain as much as I hate it. IT is our punishment for only learning to read and write in the 1970s. You can have your script if you have history. Somalis clearly had no history apart from the clan nomadic life and Islam reaching their shores.

The illiterate cannot be beggars and choosers.

Lol @ Arabic Script. Have some dignity and self worth. You should be spitting on Arabs and not begging for their script. I feel so sad that I am able to read their language. Going every Saturday morning was child abuse. I wish i was Djiboutian, the only proud Somalis left who never butt lick Arabs. They are so cultured and proud. The Somalis from everywhere else are xoolo.


I am,

Arabic script :up: , we wrote in it prior to the English arriving at our shores, and in a matter of time we shall do so, again.
I'd rather a native script written by a Majeerteen than a foreign one. Heck, I'd even be appeased if a native Somali script was introduced by a Jareerweyne :up:
well that is why Hutus are the only ones to have been enslaved by Majerten, Hutu daboole. :lol:

Zubeir is right, before colonial times the learned would use the arabic language to write their messages in, it was only natural, to borrow from the Quraan the method of transmitting information.

Independence came and for 9 Years, 2 governments, the official language was Italian, the writing was in Italian, then in 1972 the official language became Somali, the script of my great uncle Shire Jaamac dating back to the 1950s was adopted, of course he did not create his own letters and characters but the script is indeed credited to him, there is more to a script than the apparent characters, see a Danish can't read english nor can an english read german.

I believe natural evolution of the script should not be taken back, like Zubeir suggesting to revert back to Arabic, I believe in this day and age, we either go forward and create a sophisticated coding language for our writing system or we simply change the characters of our current script as suggested by abdi.ismael.
More or less what I was implying. I agree, even though the practicality of the matter is debatable :up:

The rest of what you wrote, it's nonsensical and I don't know why you wasted time writing it.

Borama script it is. :D Perhaps not, it was locally written in the 30s and seems difficult to decipher. Latin script is fine unless you'd like to devise a different system altogether.

No thanks. I still think kaddare is the most aesthetically pleasing. Osmanya looks like xabashi chicken scratch and borama looks unimaginative and dull.
