I'm hoping to see more of our ancient script, it's probably written on a sheep's calf bone somewhere in Geeska Africa.

Re: Old Arabic words in Somali language.
Arabist propaganda.
Lamogodle the Warday are not lost Somali. I'd venture to say that linguistically and culturally that the Rendille are our closest kin to the Samaale. They were the Priests and keepers of Waqefenna. They along with the Gabra, Sakuye, refused to accept Islam and were pushed out of the fold. Sheik Issaq and Jeberti simply became the new wadads who replaced the high priests of the Waqefenna.The whole Arab origin is to break with our historical heritage as followers of the monotheist faith while Arabia practiced polytheism.

Never said the Orma/Wardei are Somalis. The ones in Lower Jubba claim to be Somalis but they are clearly assimilated remnants of the larger Orma population that inhabited the area before Somalis and disease did a number on them.

Re: Old Arabic words in Somali language.
The rendille did not part with Somalis due to rejecting Islam as many Somali propaganda merchants claim.the reendille ,according to their oral history and that of the gabbra and borana ,migrated from modern Ethiopia to their present location due to an ultimatum from the borana to accept their religion .the gabbra were also given the same ultimatum,rejected it and migrated too .AbdiWahab252 wrote:Arabist propaganda.

There must have been a proto-Somali rendille culture at some point ,but that was well before the advent of Islam .there is only one clan ,the odolla ,who have links to the Somali by way of oral history ,but the rest are no closer to us than an Oromo . Rendille are merely another Cushitic people's with a distant relation to us .somalis need to stop claiming everyone under the sun as lost Somalis .

Wrong, Arabic is a Ancient language.sahal80 wrote: Thu Mar 24, 2016 10:54 am Desperate attempt to become arabs!
Seen this book years ago at a mosque bookshop it's rubbish
Firstly here what nabt/dh not nabad and hadl not hadal means in arabic
إنباط
استنبطَ
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/ ... 22&ID=8086
Al hadl
Many Arab girls with this name
هَديل
Secondly, any similarity of vocab has nothing to do with arabic but with the hamito-semitic language
Infact, arabic language is the youngest Semitic language (300 years before the birth of the prophet mohamed)
Arabic language is just like the English language wich is a mix of Germanic and French
Arabic is a mix of aramic and sabaean/habashi
For example rahim/raxim in both arabic and hebrew and Rahman in sabaean/habashi
So arabic has more of our vocabs since the sabaean consists alot of cushitic vocabulary like the geed/tree....you can find alot of cushitic words in arabic.

It was a Language spoken in the Iron age
Before it was spilt into two types of Arabic
Northern
Southern
Until a years later it became Classical Arabic. Which is like the Thy, Lo and Woe type of Arabic
then it become more distinct Dialects after.
The father language of these semitic Languages is Akkadian, which is the Oldest out of all semitic languages.
Hebrew came later and so on and on, but it is a Dead language because about the Biblical language was lost so they added Yiddish into it.
So never ever related Biblical Hebrew with Modern Hebrew because Modern hebrew is a Yiddish Mutant.
Interms of literary Arabic it is not old maybe 500 years before the Prophet
