First - Kaadare

2nd; Osmanya script

3rd; Borama script

We're not Romans nor Arabian, we're Somalis and should have our own writing system.

I nominate Kaadare since it has more components and looks nice.

Big Muslim states like Pakistan and Iran use Arabic manuscript. Time to adopt Arabic manuscript for our language, since it is language of our faith.

Arabic is one of our languages but should not be our official writing system. Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation in the world, they don't use an Arabic writing system.

Let's not vote because 'my clan created' this... Kaadare does look elegant.
Osmaanya look sort of Ethiopian.

You could write any Somali dialect with the Kaadare script.

Also Kaddare was an improved Osmanya script.

It lacked numeral numbers.
