Colonial name

[lali99]

Please folks use your head and stop saying unintelligent and ignorant comments. SL is the proper name used before colonials came. When they came they still used the right term which as a fact explain that this is a land of somalis.

Somalia is a colonial name and term invented by the colonial italians. Somalia is a term coined by Italy colonial administration. Now what does it mean? It does not even reflect the reality on the ground. It does not explain which people's land is. I will suggest for SFG government in mogadishu to change the colonial name of their country.

Somali people love their colonial masters, because to the colonials all Abdis had the same forehead and were from the same ethnic group. Somalia is the Italian version of Somaliland. Italiana Somalia can be compared to the English equivalent, British Somaliland.

Italia, land of Italians.
England, land of the Englishmen.

I laugh everytime they throw that argument at a Somalilander.

You love your colonial borders and your colonial name.

Its like their hiding the face in the sand like an ostrich. Hiding from the true reality that their "somalia" is a colonial name. Heck when both somalis countries became one on july1st 1960, the name that they agreed on was Somali Republic and not this somalia colonial term. Keep your Somalia and we will keep our Somaliland

[RoobleAlWaliid]

Seems that all changed when "Af Weyne" and his military junta took over. The government went through a serious brain drain

wow that extra a in somalia is really bothering you isn't

[lali99]

Not really bothering me. I don't care tbh. Just don't assume that SL is a colonial name while somalia isn't. They both are.

What does it matter? Somaliland doenst even exist! is only one clan preaching bulshitt without permission from other clans.

The only difference between somalia and Fiction isaaqland is that Somalia isnt trying to claim colonial borders but rather hoping for the unity of all somali regions.

This what siad barre wrote in his memoirs that He would rename the country Somaliweyn and unite all regions!

To bad its almost impossible since the ethnic term somali means nothing to us!

know lets talk about history

Somaliland existed as dhulka somalida or "ardul soomal" long before british came to our shores. the evidence is the books of those explorers that came into our country before the colonials . most of them used the name somaliland or ardul soomaal. somalia name was first introduced in 1889 by the italians when italy established its " somalia italiana" colony. somaliland was first established as it stands today in 1884, thats four years before the italians established somalia. I am not surprised to see wanlaweyn kids complaining our name because they are playing "caqli caqli " with us. but I feel sorry some fool landers who believe in their bs . you guys are weak and brainwashed by the enemies. how come you believe that their fake meaningless name is better than ours which you can understand its meaning in any language. we are somali and this is our land we will never change it hadaad indhaha dhiig ka keentaan.

[sahal80]

somaliland is more a colonial name bc it carries a non native word such as land while somalia has only a latin suffix but in somali its a native suffix; somaliya wich is similar to the arabic suffix in as somaliyah

the term somali; as somal, as somaliya goes back to the 14 and 15 centuries

the originsl posters logic is saying let us adopt a more colonial name lol

the latin suffix ai was even adopted by the english language as you can see ai, ain and so on

so at that time this suffix was not common in the english language otherwise they would have called you somalia: the land of somalis just like it is in italian(somalia britannica)

the proof is the confusion that the term somaliland leaves behind when itcomes to the nationals

who r you? a somalI or a lander? lol

cambridge dictionary

somalia a name of a country

somali: adjective, relating to somalia(like the somali independence day, a somali study, the somali president hebel)

somali: a noun coming from somalia (thus not somalian as english populations try to call us)

most countries carry the suffix ai like saudi arabia, algeria and so on

the united nations have adopted the name somalia when the country gained its independence in 1960.

New Zealand nationlity= new zealanders
ireland irish
Scotland scotish
poland polish

Swaziland Swazi
Thailand thai

ireland still white european maffakas involved with unted kingdom.

Poland still with european and Land being a european word.

Thailand adopted it after becoming a british colony retard.

lool the irony ! . atleast we signed protectorate treaty with the british but you have been forcefully colonized by the least powerfull and worst colonizer ,the gypsy Italians. in fact italy managed to rule only 3 three countries in the world. if the least powerful European country managed to rule somalia you have nothing to be proud of.

Being white slave is not something to be proud of. you should be embarrassed to even be colonized but considering who you people are am not surprised
