Is Somalia an Italian Word?

[AbdiWahab252]

Better Names:

Wuuqoyi = The Democratic Republic of Somalia / Or North Somalia

Konfur = The Republic of Somalia / South Somalia


We can be like both the North and South Koreas or West and East Germany

no sheldibow, somalo stands for somali and not somalia in italian. for instance the now defunct Banca Credito Somalo meant Somali Central Bank.

gaalna dil gartiisana sii. heck I'm just gonna admit somalia is a colonial name too, it comes from Somalia Italiana.

But than again our leaders at the vanguard of our independance never named our young country Somalia, but the Somali Republic. That was the official name of our country back then.

[quote="Shirib"][quote="Aliyah99"][quote="Shirib"]^^^ Yes but Somalia was not the term used by the colonial while SomaliLand was. Somalia came in 1960, after the Italians and British left.[/quote]


^^ Yes but a Latin suffix was used to create the name in 1960, a foreign syntax that was conveniently native to the Italian colonialists. You can use any smokesceen you want, but both suffixes Land and IA are not somali in origin.[/quote]

Ok if that makes u feel better[/quote]



Ok if it makes you feel any better, an English suffix (Land) is worse than a Latin suffix (IA)

Latin... is not italian... Italian is a direvitive of Latin... So are Portugese, French,Spanish, Romanian... all are romance languages which have there origin in Latin...

Russia, Croatia, Slovakia, etc are Slavic Nations.....

Many of these countries have been colonized by NON-Romance speaking nations... Some haven't ever been colonized..
