Write your mother tongue with its own script

Post by AbyssiniaLady » 10 Mar 2023, 17:16

That's what Somalis told Africans, Write your mother tongue with its own script.


Somali script.






Somalia is the only country in Africa with its own distinct alphabet.

Somalis don't use that script which was invented in the 1900s

Somalia never had a script. This must be a new invention from some kind of recent school project. Creating one now is something worthy to encourage, but to lie for something never existed in the past, neither recorded in historic time is crime - pure manifestation of inferiority complex for not being proud of once history. The next higher level lie will be a Somalian Shakespearin fiction in the 7th century written in this recent shorthand symbol. :mrgreen: This is sickness.

One of the downsides of the internet is that it also allows fuckers with mental constipation to air their diarrhea of the month incognito.

They created that script at some point in the 90s but they eventually went back to Arabic.

As an Eritrean i got a lot of love 2 my african brothers z Somalis, But this alphabet looks like Armenian & My Eritrea's Tigrinya & Amharic a combination of all of these languages. If you believe that it's new then go right ahead. Weriya fianta. :lol:

Jealousy is running through your veins, what you have in front of you is more than a century old Somali script, Somalis used their own script up until they were advised to abandon, they were outsmarted by the Italian and British.

If someone says Somalis have invented shoes or even a toothbrush, Amhara would be the first person to contradict, Amharas want to be superior to other Africans without any contribution to humanity.

Inventing script is very simple.

Woriyaa!!
The Osmanya script (Farta Cismaanya, 𐒍𐒖𐒇𐒂𐒖 π’‹π’˜π’ˆπ’‘π’›π’’π’•π’–), also known as Far Soomaali (𐒍𐒖𐒇 π’˜π’π’ˆπ’‘π’›π’˜, "Somali writing") and, in Arabic, as al-kitābah al-ΚΏuthmānΔ«yah (Ψ§Ω„ΩƒΨͺΨ§Ψ¨Ψ© Ψ§Ω„ΨΉΨ«Ω…Ψ§Ω†ΩŠΨ©; "Osman writing"), is a writing script created to transcribe the Somali language. It was invented between 1920 and 1922 by Osman Yusuf Kenadid, the son of Sultan Yusuf Ali Kenadid and brother of Sultan Ali Yusuf Kenadid of the Sultanate of Hobyo.

What is big deal now since they are using Somali language even now as we speak, Arabic being second language due to perhaps geographical proximity and trade.

What’s there to be jealous of? While Geez script has been there for thousands of years, Somali script was invented a century ago and it got abandoned less than half a century later. It’s like comparing a roundworm with an elephant.

Ethiopia has been manufacturing leather shoes for years (like Darmar & Anbesa shoes) and great brands like SoleRebels & Vivo are hitting the world market. It’s good to check what your competitors are doing but what has that anything to do with jealousy? It’s something that your brain imagines.

Both Somalia & Ethiopia have been using anti-microbial toothbrush stick β€œmiswak” for hundreds of years while Europeans were wiping their teeth with linen and the average person suffered from blackened and rotting teeth. Go to Wello or Gondar and see how beautiful their teeth look to this day and yet they don’t use modern toothpaste or brush.

It is now time Somalis should start using both their own script and Latin script.

Look how easy Somalian language is written in my Eritrean invented tigrinya language:
1- Eskewera: αŠ αˆ΅αŠ¨α‹ˆαˆ«
2- Megaa : αˆ˜αŒ‹α‹“
3- Aba Hawiss: αŠ£α‰£ αˆƒα‹αˆ΅
4- Labad: αˆˆα‰£α‹΅
5- Wahaa: α‹ˆαˆ“
6- Afar: α‹“α‹αˆ­
7- Weriya: α‹ˆαˆͺα‹«
8- Fieann: αŠα‹“αŠ•/ታ

Should i continue? Anyhow i love my Somali brothers/sisters. Molto biene. Alora CIAO.

AbyssiniaLady,

First of all, you are not from Somalia. Second, there is nothing to be jealous of about this. If Somalia had any script recorded in history, I would be happy for Africa could cite at least another country in addition to Ethiopia for having own alphabet. There are several countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe that have their own. Africa the largest continent have only one country recorded in history.

Selam already provided you perfect explanation on this - I am thankful for that. You posted a fraudulent script and which is a junk, not a historical icon. That is really an insult to Somalia.
