Improvements to abtirsi.com

[James Dahl]

I've decided to dedicate some long overdue attention to tidying the site and making the search feature work a bit better. I've revised the character transliteration to match the standard English and Arabic usages (fixing some problems with Arabic), and gotten rid of all the special characters to instead use the more familiar English renditions of Somali and Arabic names. I tidied up the language selector so the top bar isn't so messy on small screens.

I'm trying to get Google to index it a bit more intelligently as well, so that the site search feature is more useful. If that doesn't work I might just build my own search.

and Gadabuursi is Mandaluug Dir not Maahe Dir ... I Know because I Am Gadabuursi...

ever Heard of This Somali Poem



Mahe Iyo Madaxweyne Waa Nimankii Murtidhaa Badnaa ..
Madoobe Dir, Nimanka Aan Laa Maagi Karin ..
Markuu Mandaluug Yimadaa Madaafic La Ridha !! ..



Mandaluug Dir= Gadabuursi
Madoobe Dir = Ciise
Madaxweyne Dir = Gaadsaan, Suure
Mahe Dir = Biyamal, Isaaq

[Meyle]

Isaaq is not Dir.

[James Dahl]

Rooble I have made that change to Mandaluug.

My Mareexaan abtirsi is a little bit different, I will bold fathers on the abtirsi I have for Ugaas Maxamed missing from the one you posted:

Ugaas Maxamed
Ugaas Xaashi
Ugaas Xirsi
Ugaas Maxamed
Ugaas Cabdulle
Ugaas Jaamac
Ugaas Guuleed
Ugaas Sharmaarke
Ugaas Diini
Ugaas Faarax
Ugaas Guleed
Ugaas Sharmaarke
Khalaf
Xuseen
Yuusuf
Ciise
Mataan
Ciise - This could be an error on my part, I should check my sources
Axmed
Boqor Maxamed
Da'uud
Abadir
Maxamed some lineages skip this Maxamed
Muuse
Maxamed some other lineages skip this Maxamed
Warwaajecle
Raadimiir
Amaanreer
Isaaq
Galshiredle
Hodenbari
Baalyiri
Awsame
Maxamed "Mareexaan"
Axmed "Sade"
Cabdiraxmaan "Daarood"
Ismaciil
Jaberti

The issue with the Maxamed's before and after Muuse is actually an issue, I have seen some that have the Maxamed after but not before, others with a Maxamed before but not after, and others with no Maxamed. I have just assumed that all 3 instance are correct in general terms and these Maxamed's are just being skipped over. Likewise some abtirsi reverse the order of Ciise Mataan, it becomes Mataan Ciise.

James you filthy dog you should not glorify what already destroyed the Somali people ( Qabil ) you have exposed yourself as an enemy of the Somali people. If you had been a friend of the Somali people you will had told them to throw away Qabil and choose Nationhood.

[STARKAST]

Tanker take a chill pill James is o.k he's even shown his true face and i've added it to my database. We're safe.

[James Dahl]

Does STARKAST work for the NSA? We're all screwed
