Why did aabe Siyaad chose Latin over Arabic?

[samadoon-waaxid]

The polish guy Andrewiski aka macallin goosh just used latin letters to write a poem, but the Somali scholars notibly Shire Jama had invented the Somali script for the use of Somali language. After a long delibration this was adopted for two reasons: it suited best with YOUR cushitic language; there was such a need for literacy compaing so there was no time to waste.

I did not know Shire Jama's qabil until tonight

f-king Somalis waxba iskuma quuraan. Ilaahey idin cadaab. Waar cid kasta waa lagu faanaa xataa Ceydiid baan ku faanaa.

Caawaad noo keentey Andriwizki invented Somali language

lol,i would like to see ur sources bal. macalin goosh solved the issue of expressing long phonetics like I said(aa, ee, uu,oo). the latin script was there and needed no invention.Shire Jamaac yuu ahaa anywayz

I have read this years ago. I do not use the internet as a reference as anything can be put in.

I did not say the latin was invented but 'for Somali language'. There is difference between the two.

No, he did not.

You were the one saying it was not invented marehan guy?

Adoption is the case, that is obvious.I was not paying much attention to my writing.


I think Samater comes to this field quite late and might have his own baised views if he has not mentioned Shire Jama. I came across this name quite few times.

read the link that Baarmaan posted it.

Regardless of his qabill, he is one of the Somali scholars who successfully adapted Latin script for Somali language.


My point is : Writing Somali language is entirely Somali work.

[qoraxeey]

yes its was for all somalis

I hope Somalia's current wadaads would re-introduce Wadaad's script:

The early government didn't adopt the latin script though, it was Siad Barre who adopted the Latin script in 1972, 3 years after he seized power.

In the end it came down to Qabiil. Majerteen favored Osmanya, Gadabursi favored the Gadabursi script, and Marehan favored the Latin script, because their clan invented it.

CAN YOU PROVE THAT?

I can see you quickly picked up some tensions from here. I bet you had no idea who adapt what

It was not the late president who made that decision; it was decided by a national commission that was tasked to write the Somali language that has chosen latin over Arabic and Osmania manuscript that was developed in Somalia by a Somali named Osman ....

Whatever that person was called I believe that it was Somali work. We did it.

We are not fucked up nation: we had scholars; government; millitary structure. We were functioning nation with all their OWN expertise. We had Somali scholars who developed the othomania, the Gudubirsia, the Amheriah and so on. We also had the capacity to decide what is best for us
