There's a burco script? Where do you find out this stuff?

Arabic isn't really compatible with the somali language.
It's about 90% compatible if you vocalize it with the diacritic marks, though you lose some vowels and not all consonants are the same.

Sorry not Burco, Borama, I don't know why I thought Burco. It's the Borama or Gadabursi script. It was early and I hadn't had my coffee yet. :lol:

Instead of doing what you're praising him for, you took the easy route and attached your severely disfigured lips to his arse.

That's actually looks like it's fairly easy to remember and quite attractive.

Added Arabic to Somali, though it only works well with vocalized arabic like in the Qu'ran, with unvocalized arabic it doesn't know what vowels to use for short vowels so I just put 'e'.

I'm testing it with transliterating the Qu'ran into Somali and quasi-English, so far so good

Since you seem to have so much spare time, why don't you develop a translation tool like for English----> Somali.
