Kramer, most of the words you listed there were either originally English or Italian. The real Somali words didn't resemble English in the slightest. It's like comparing chalk and cheese. Somali is an Afro Asiatic language not European.

:lol: exactly....and it's also called 'Bun'...which is what we also call the actual coffee beans. I hear the Ethiopians also use the same word for coffee. I think coffee probably originated from Ethiopia.

Sxb-- most of this words are orginally Somali! words like Far, Istaag, Roob etc are neither arabic nor Italian.
Somali words that are Italians include but not limited to:

Shukulaato
Jalaato
Bushkuleeti
Buundo
Farmaajo
Darajiin
Barando
Basto

etc, most Italians words end in "O"!

Dumb f-king CUNTS.

Over 50% of Somali words are from Arabic, Italian, & nearby Bantu tribes (specifically Swahili, a language founded upon Arabic roots).

Over 50% of English words are rooted in Arabic via Spanish (think MOORS) - which directly influenced nearby Italy.

Does this make any sense to you camel-raping morons?

Somali sounds like English because we both have roots in Arabic.

I already explained - AL GEBRA is Algebra, AL KUHL is Alcohol, AL KHWARIZIM (founder of Algebra) is Algorithm, and so forth. English = White man's Arabic.

Cambro ooh! Jaahil Cambro, I wonder why you bother coming into my threads, because I decided to ignore you long time ago, I now that you don't contribute shyt to Somalinet but hate like a little girl.
If you understand English and grammer, "dumb phucking cunts, and camel-raping morons" is an insult to everyone including you, there is nothing specific that it's directed at me, and if it was, he won't use plural words like cunts or morons. But why am I explaining to an ESL losser, you will never understand it. Please not respond to my threads, I feel sorry for you, you look you are out of touch, or you don't understand something, may be you mentally challenged.
