If Samaale existed...

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

...why aren't there myths, legends and epics about him? Are somalis so lazy they can't make up creation myths and hero epics like every other culture? Sounds like he was made up for political reasons.

Now that I think about it, the only somali stories I know are diin iyo dacawo, dhegdheer and Cigaal shiidaad which are all later modern folktales.

Why are you all denied your oromo heritage? explained that to us?

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Oromos house slave, don't divert my topic. Somalis aren't oromos.

Samaal is oromo language, as well afaan maay maay language. as well is konso language, afaan booni language is also same, as well as all other horn of africa language, except waaqooy who lost they laguage.

Sa =cow, same in this languages, oromo, maay maay, konso, afar, booni,
Samaal = cattle herder

Afaan maay maay , Soo = meat. soomaal ; traders.


There's borana oromo tribe called somaal.

Nobody is diverting the thread but i'm educating you. and we will teach you the Art of Qoti (farming) toothless kaat chewing bum.



Don't hide behind somaal, i was not talking about other somaal, but people of arabsio waaqooy.

That's because you're an arab. Samaale is supposedly the mythical ancestor of the Somali race.

[Hyperactive]

ل lol@ be ause you are an arab. inshallah i will research online. all i know is mythical arab ancestor ! ma arab bo aha?

[InaSamaale]

This dude better have existed.

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

No, I think he was some sort proto-Somali. Samaale is not an arab name.

You haven't heard of sagaalka samaale? Samaale is the founder of the Somali race. Some books say he is buried in Yurkud (Bakool)...According to Richard Burton, the name Samaale comes from the arabic word 'samala' to mean 'thrust out' meaning he thrusted his brothers eye out. Other sources are different. Shariif Cayduruus says he migrated in the 9th century from Yemen after splitting from an Army that fought a Christian enclave in Arabia and landed in north Somalia...

Sa maal is the people of cattleherder, that's before camel arrived from arabia. it has nothing to do with arab.

the two words you will find nomadic people of all over horn of africa is Sa maal, Lo doon. Both are cow herders or cattle herders.

DNA is the right approach to this topic. The Eurasian component in Somali DNA is only 15%. OJOO is right.
