Arabman,

Mayee, waxaan uga jeedaa, haddii dadkii waaweynaa aysan rabin Af Somaali, caruurtuna waaba kasii daran yihiin..Goobtan oo ah Somali-net, miyaad ku aragtay qof wax ku qora af Somaali aan ka ahayn Kambuli?

[Marques]

We are nomads sxb, we adapt to change very, very quickly. It's just an attribute. For instance, i noticed Somalis are good at picking up new languages easily but other communities can't. Some Asian families who've lived in the UAE for 20 odd years will still be unable to speak fluent Arabic whereas a Somali who camped there for a year or two becomes native-esque. Similarly in the UK i've met Somalis who picked up English very well and can blend with society without much difficulty but not so much other people.

So just as we pick up things quickly, we lose it quickly too (case in point we lose aspects of our culture)

for some Somali is not important. that is their rights to believe that.
