Should Somaliland Adopt the Old Berber Script

[The_Emperior5]

For the Somaliland language , The region Somaliland was known as Bilad al Barbar has any one studied the Ancient Berber Language script and if it is compatible with the Somali language i dont like how we use the Latin Alphabet though its practical very easy.. But we are missing the Uniqueness and since Somaliland had an old Language prior to emergence of Modern Somalis in Somaliland..

it was wrong to use latin alphabet in the first place, i believe we should go back to our very old language for script

also remember we were the land of punt

If it is broken do not fix it.

it's bloody broken.. most Somalis spell words how they like, there isn't a standard version...


hey speaking of berber....read this article..apparently when this batuula dude visited berbera he ppl were shia??

or maybe he got confused with the fact that isaaq has lineage to Fatima and therefore assuming that they are shia?

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.

Really? I always thought Berber refers to indigenous people from Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria...

The greeks and early arabs called Sl and somalis Berbers. The north african berbers are called Tamazight.

I'm all for uniqueness. the current way of writing somali is lazy and colorless. its like Swahili

[STARKAST]

I think matters such as food/water security are more important, not changing the most important functioning/accepted asset Somalis have ! Btw thank reer gedo for 'providing' us with a script, don't hate !

The title of the topic is Somaliland we dont care what kind of script Koonfurians use nor what they eat in Gedo

Did you say East Cerigabo. Nigga please

[STARKAST]

East Ceerigaabo City, get it right, the lammi takes us to Haylan/Badhan hoorta anyways who mentioned Burco, worry about West Burco city actually.

Crackhead Cali, the script you use was created by a man belonging to a 'foreign' country (gedo), now you know how ludicrous you are..ma'salaama

I think we should but only after we've become economically prosperous. Switching to a unique script means obtaining keyboards that have that same script, which would be incredibly expensive, especially for a poor country like Somaliland. Just compare the internet penetration of Somaliland and even Somalia with our Ethiopian neighbours who use the Geez script and you'll see what I'm talking about. Even in the Arab World, some people resort to using weird number letter combinations to write as they don't have the special Arabic keyboard. Once we've established ourselves, we can mass produce computers with the Berber script for cheap.

what does berber script look like? hieroglyphics??
