Why? Because of pride and vanity? Such qualities are to be blamed of why somalis are so low as they are.

Waayeel,

Give an arabic novel (without all the dhamma, kasra, fat7a etc) to a pakistani. Let's see if he can 'read' like you. They can't even pronounce certain letters to save their lives.

Cherine is quite possibly one of the most horrid people I've come across on the internet

My awoowe could read that Osaamanya script he was part of the group pushing it against the latin script before the faqaash regime.
I like it themost

STARKAST, you sick fuck

Precisely Zubeir! National pride and vanity, not clan sentiment.

National pride, vanity and cultural grandeur is what sets nations apart. Paltry contentment, meekness, humility and other traits averse to ambition we do not need.

Repeat this five times each day young Padawan...The Somali is Supreme

Arabic script , we wrote in it prior to the English arriving at our shores, and in a matter of time we shall do so, again.

I'd rather a native script written by a Majeerteen than a foreign one. Heck, I'd even be appeased if a native Somali script was introduced by a Jareerweyne

well that is why Hutus are the only ones to have been enslaved by Majerten, Hutu daboole.

Zubeir is right, before colonial times the learned would use the arabic language to write their messages in, it was only natural, to borrow from the Quraan the method of transmitting information.

Independence came and for 9 Years, 2 governments, the official language was Italian, the writing was in Italian, then in 1972 the official language became Somali, the script of my great uncle Shire Jaamac dating back to the 1950s was adopted, of course he did not create his own letters and characters but the script is indeed credited to him, there is more to a script than the apparent characters, see a Danish can't read english nor can an english read german.

I believe natural evolution of the script should not be taken back, like Zubeir suggesting to revert back to Arabic, I believe in this day and age, we either go forward and create a sophisticated coding language for our writing system or we simply change the characters of our current script as suggested by abdi.ismael.

The Majerteen saw themselves as the backbone of the Somali struggle for independence. They looked down on the Marehan as "Bush People".

The sad thing is, the only people they looked down on was you.

true !!!! these people struggle learning the Quraan, arabic language is more easily spoken by a Rer Miyi Somali than Pakistani Arabic language professor.

I think we should keep the latin or adopt a whole new one, there is a gadabuursi script to made my the late ugaaz nur
We should not go for arab because we are not arabs, the osmania script looks like geez reminds me of the amxaar, we need something unique, kadarrre is not to bad either

Who ? what are you ? too many multi-nickers in this place, its hard to tell who is who, but you stink of dhaboyaco/hutu cross breed.

Majerten look down on me, is this suppose to be an insult ? what mountain must you climb inorder to look down on a son of Sade. I rather be a Bush people(Rer Miyi) my entire life, herd my camels, read my Quraan, kill my enemy, than have any association with the Mijeerteeni pimps who sell their daughters to perverted Italian men whiles carrying them on their head serving their gaal master as a obedient subject, that is what you are my friend, let us not lose sight of the reality.

Their point of pride was freedom fighting and not enslaving others as you'd like to portray, and ironically they only people they did look down on in that reality was you and not anyone else.
