This person believes that the Brits invented the Somali language during the 19th century

Assalamu Alaikum,

I was having a discussion on the topic, and I find that many people are confused on what it means to be 'Arab.'

Being 'Arab' is not about ethnicity or culture. It is about language.

In Islam we classify a people as Arab if they speak Arabic, simple as that.


If you look at the region known today as Somalia, Arabic was spread to them very close to after the time of the prophet peace be upon him himself!

In fact, it wasn't until the British started colonizing the area of Somalia in the 1800s that you started seeing this language called 'Somali' appear.


Unfortunately, the colonizers have been effective in removing the bond of Arabic, and instead spreading nationalism to the people of Somalia. This is why many Somalis today might not call themselves Arab, even though historically they have always been!

Wa Aalaikum Assalam

Waving any Somali flag constitutes as nationalism to these people but waving a Syrian/Palestinian flag does not

In light of Raganimo's topic.



Doesn't this deluded person not know that Ibn Battuta visited the Mogadishu sultanate and he spoke fluently in Arabic and a local language?

As we have said, the Sultan of Mogadishu is called Shaikh by his subjects. His
name is Abu Bakr ibn Shaikh Omar, and by race he is a Berber. He talks in the
dialect of Mogadishu, but knows Arabic

Avoid Ummah forum it's a cesspool of self hate.

Wallahi these guys are pathetic. There are some good people there, but many of them suffer from a slave mentality where they grovel to please the Asians and Arabs. They do this by degrading their own.

I registered to karbaash them but got tired of it after a while.

I. Can't. Deal.

So, say we entertain this idea and the Somali language came about in the 1800s but Somalis spoke Arabic before that with the spread of Islam. What did Somalis speak before the advent of Islam then?

He tried my ENTIRE life with that.
