KH in the Somali language

[Xusseyn]

[quote="Gatspy"]Here r some that actually start with 'KH'

Khuuro: snoring
Khoobaro/Khoobar : dolphin (some might say koobaro)
Kharqad: cloth
Kharash: expense (some might say Qarash)
Khiyaamo: deceiving or tricking someone into something[/quote]

Kharash and Khiyaamo are not Somali words. I not not sure about about Khoobaro and Kharqad.

KH is used by some Somalis but I don't think it's native. Same as Z, you will not find any Somali word that starts with Z, even named and words that we have borrowed such as Zahra or Zakat is always pronounce with S, but some people do still pronouce it with Z still.

[Gatspy]

Its all about pronunciation bro, qualifying KH to be in Somali alphabets. Z on the other hand isn't, and those who use Z in their names r those in the west who came exposed to it. There is no such pronunciation for Z in Somali, its only S.

[Cartan Boss]

Khalad=gurac in Somali, waa talo guracan, hadal guracan

Kh should be thrown out from da Somali alphabet

In Farsi, Urdu, Pashto and close languages, "bakht" or "bakhti" is used. In Urdu, one of the definitions of bakhti is rotten.

I replied to you why. But, I know why you keep asking why I call you The Rebel. If you're not The Rebel, it won't bother you, plus you won't keep asking whys.
