I see. So, are you saying that already in 1963, there was a movement to write the somali language?

P.s. have you got a video of Abdirashid Ali Sharmaake's or Cigaal's speech in Tanzania on the NFD?

Yes they were working on it at 1963,,,I will look for it, I will post if I come across

on the black board you could see the somali words Guddi, soomaali and soomaaliga etc

Thanks for posting, cook video

Free healthcare was available back then

Did you realise that somalis were more handsome and beautiful then?

Naagaha dhexhdooda yariis, ilko saqaf ah oo saabuun la mariyey, luqun dheer sida geriga...
Nowadays all you meet is a rounded shorty with excess luggage in her rear and decaying teeth.

Our diets have changed but our lifestyle is still the same.

True but there is another factor I think which we should not discard; daawooyinkana waay bateen (is cadeeyn, timo la jilciyey; cream la marsaday)

Is cadeyn and hair waa la fahmey lakin what is wrong with careemo, you mean body lotion?

Haa body lotion; dadka jirkooda ayaay dishaa. In the good old days people used water; naagaha uunsi. When uunsi meets sweat a wonderful odour is created. Nowadays, people used unnatural things everywhere. BLV inadeer gabdhaha marsada Lipstick waa lala yaabi jirey (people used to think they had herpes (biijo). Nowadays even men use Lipstick. Odeygow laigu yiri adeerkaaga waaye oo baadiye ka yimid ayaa la i baray; in the spirit of the good old days, I bought him a winter jacket, shoes and a lipstick; markaasu i weydiyey; waxaan ku iri adeer afka ayaa la marsadaa; Markaasu intuu tuuray kor u yiri " Najis, najis dhalay ma waxaad dooneeysaa inaan ku istiimo! Ballo kugu dhacday ma naag baad i moodey"

A beloved child has many names ( A norwegian proverb). I thought it was called a lipstick. You are right. If you don't wear it, you might destroy your lips.

But, my Gaalkacyo adeer saw that as an insult.
