Just ask them why it is spelled Hargeysa, but when it comes the word 'har' itself is spelled 'hadh' by them. An apt example is that website 'hadhwanaag.' Shouldn't it be harwanaag to follow how the grammatical structure of how Hargeysa is spelled. Or either if we follow in the latter logic, then by all means it should have been Hadhgeysa. Meel ha lagu ekaado.

You're clutching on straws sxb. I knew you would not back down even after being given examples like "Khuuro". A great number of Somali people use "Kh". From Somaliland, Djibouti,Ethiopia and southerners with Swahili connections . Please give it a rest and stop arguing for arguments’ sake. PS "KH" was part of official Somali Curricula. See examples below.... Haye ma bilowday milaa yacnigaaga laguugu yaqaanay. Wax beri hore laga gudbay oo la yiri 'typo' ahayd ayaa dirsin dhan usoo dhajisay. Goormaa iri xarafka 'kh' Afsoomaaliga alifbeetadiisa kuma jiro? Mise waxaa ku wareertay markaa qoray in xarafka 'kh' asal ahaantiisa Afsoomaali ku jirin. Waana run. Erey 'kh' ku jiro oo asalkiisa erey Soomaali yahay keen. 'Khuuro' xarafka 'kh' looma isticmaalo, waana quuro, si walba carabkaaga u adkee, the spelling and dhawaaqida both still are quuro, not 'khuuro.' So come again, wax kale la imoow. What is next, that qurun uro is now spelled 'khurun' just to satisfy for your own muran? No, no, my bad, that wouldn't even be 'khurun,' but 'khudhun,' no? Dad wareersan iga dheh. Any original Soomaali word (not Carabiga kuwa laga soo deensaday) oo 'kh' ka bilowdo, kuna jiro ma keeni kartaa inta haddii kale wareerka badan yaree.

Ninac, yaa yiri arooskeyga kama heesin. Yaa kuu sheegaayo hee. Anaaba xafladda isku daba ridaayi. Ismalura, xafladda O Canada maa lagu furaa mise Soomaaliyeey Toosoo? Maadeey labadoodaba ma maqli karo, in lagu furo Cusaama binti Ladan's qudbooyin uu ka helaa.

Ma post ayaa u baahantahay laguu delete gareeyo? That can be done if you want. Anyway, xafladda yaaka heesaayo, aniga fanaano qaas bas meeshee ka heesaan tagaa, inta kale meel ee joogaan uma socdi.

Remember I dont agree with your extreme (and even violent) views lakiin i still respect you so you are invited to the the party for my 'nomadhood'. I will let you in even though you don't sound like you are happy for me coz I am just that kind of a girl. Ar dad baaro irida istaaji hee markaas.

Ku noqo waxaa kor ku qoray ku sharxayna. Ereyada 'kh' ka bilowdo ama ku jiro oo Carabiga kasoo jeedo badanaa marka kaliya 'kh' la isticmaalaayo waa markee magacyada yihiin (nouns, like place names, people's names), sida makhtal, mukhtaar, kheyre. Hadduu erey iska caadi yahay oo magac ahayn markaa 'q' ayaa la isticmaalayaa, sida qeyr. Sharcigaan aniga ma keensan Soomaalidii dajisay afkeena la qoro keensaday, saan loogu wareerin hadhoow, waana wareerka hadda taagan aadan kala garaneynin. Soomaali badan ugu dhawaaqdo 'q' meeshee 'kh' oo afka Carabiga ah ka tahay. Afkeena kuma jiro, carabkeenana wuu qabtaa laakiin iskuma dhibno mana rabno. There are more nuances in Afsoomaali than you realize. It is not only limited to xarafka 'kh' and how we substitute it sometimes. Xarafka 'thaal' ama 'th' kuma jiro Afsoomaaliga, and we instead use either 'd' if it is a strong dhawaaq or the soft 't' if it is not that strong dhawaaq to the ears. A very useful example being the very letter 'th' itself. If, say, we are going to write in Afsoomaali, of course it would be 'daal,' not 'thaal.' Yet writing in 'daal,' it doesn't mean we are mispronouncing it. It just suits to write daal instead of 'thaal' since we don't have the 'th' letter in afkeena. Then there are some Carabi words we borrowed that end with the 't' letter. We usually substitute to 'd' instead because in original Soomaali, there never been a word that ended with the t letter. So instead of writing salaat, we write salaad, instead of siraat, we write siraad. Waxaan iyo wax ka badan ayaa u baahan in la barto, marka Afsoomaali barashadiisa iyo naxwadiisa waa loo baahanyahay in la wada barto, kumana koobno BTJX kaliya.

Read on. __________________ Somali refugees' tale of blood, sweat and tears Sitting on the barren ground and waving away dust swirling around her, Khadija Abdi Hajji patiently waits for the metal gates to open. Hajji, 62, is in a group of Somalis who have just entered Kenya to escape years of violence in their country. Travelling in a rickety van, they are lucky to have made it safely to the sprawling Ifo refugee camp in Garissa. As the van comes to a stop and gates to the camp are swung open, a stream of haggard looking women and children disembark. " I fled from my home in Kismayu last week. I will never go back ," she declares. For months, she persevered as ten of her close relatives were gunned down by Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group that controls swathes of Somalia. " A few weeks ago, a group of youths stopped me and decreed that the material of my bui bui (veil worn by Muslim women) was not heavy enough. They arrested and locked me up for hours ," Khadija recalls. After three more arrests and whipping , she sold all her belongings and headed for Kenya. As she waits to be registered, she is living at Ifo, one of three camps which make up Daadab. The other two are Dagahaley and Hagadera. If she is lucky, Khadija will join an estimated 271,000 of her countrymen and women who are currently residing in the camps. The entire settlement has a population of 289,000 souls. According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), the fighting in Somalia has caused a steady flow of people into Kenya. More than 1,000 Somalis are arriving in the camps weekly. The UN body said this year alone, more than 37,000 people have crossed the border into the camps. However, conditions at the camps are deplorable. Firewood supply is rapidly diminishing, posing unprecedented problems to UNHCR, which has ran out cash. More

Otherwise, isqabqabsigaan ma dhamaanaayo fiinaa wiito.
