Somalian is not incorrect. It is an actual English word and means ''a national from the Republic of Somalia''.Machiavelli2 wrote:Ina Adeer, you just invented a new word "Somalian" for Somalis like you and me. I used to hear (still do) from foreigners who didn't know the individual is called Somali rather than "Somalian". Check my second post in this thread. I posted a book (free online to read) that challenges the myths we were fed to believe of who is an "ethnic Somali" and who isn't. Ina Adeer, read it and expand your understanding of "other Somalis". Celebrating Diversity and the acceptance of all Somalis as one equal society can only free us from the ignorance we were buried in for centuries. Equality and respect to one another are the key words missing from our narrative of Somali-ness. See where we are now?
Jareerweyne are Somalian, but NOT Somali.
Somalis in London are British, but NOT English.
