Maadaama aan arkay shabakooyinka Soomaaliyeed oo maqaalo, qoraalo badan dad soo bandhigay. Badana maqaaladaan, awalba iska jaabo jaabo loo qoray, waxaa ugu sii darnaa dadka qaarkiis iska daaye inay wax la aqrin karo soo bandhigaan, waxeeba iska ilooween muhiimadii ay lahayd shaqaldheernimada iyo shaqalgaabnimada. Xataa heer waxaa la gaaray magacii "Soomaaliya" iyo "Soomaali" laga dhigo shaqalgaab, oo qoraalo warar ku qoran Afsoomaali ayaa arkeysaa iyagoo loo hingaadinaayo "Somalia" iyo "Somali." Wahsinimo, aqoondaro, dayacanimo iyo inay xushma la'aanta afkooda naxwadiis u degan iyo barashadiis ka tahayba ma'ogi. Maxee muhiim ama laga maarmaan u tahay shaqaldheernimada iyo shaqalgaabnimada. Inta aan u guda galin aan isweydiino horta maxaa laga wadaa ama loola jeedaa labadaan erey. Maxee yihiin shaqaldheer iyo shaqalgaab? Shaqaldheer haddaan afka qalaad ku dhahno waa "long vowel," kan gaabna waa "short vowel." Afsoomaaliga waa ku muhiimsanyihiin, maadaama afkeena hodanka ka buuxaan ereyo isku dhigmo, oo haddii shaqaldheer iyo shaqalgaab jiri lahayn lagu wareeri lahaa qoraal markee noqoto. Tusaalooyinka: Gaal [camel, unbeliever] iyo gal [enter], sar [building] iyo saar [traditional play], fal [doing] iyo faal [astrology], mar [pass] iyo maar [bronze, copper], dur [inject, pierce] iyo duur [wild, jungle], bur [flour] iyo buur [mountain, hill] iyo kuwa boqolaalkale fara badan. Marka saas ayee muhiimad ugu leedahay maadaama hal shaqal oo yar haddii ereyga laga badalo micno weyn kale oo ka gedisan yeelanaayo. Duruuf kale ayaa jiro oo aanan dad badan la socon, taas oo ah in shaqaldheernimada kaliya tahay laba xaraf oo shaqal [vowel] kaliya ah israacaan; Shaqaldheer ma noqon karo sadex xaraf ama ka badan oo shaqal ah israacaan, sida Bu'aale ama la'aan. Markee sadex xaraf saas camal iskugu toosaan ereyga, waxaa loo dhaxeysiyaa hamsa [apostrophe oo ah (')]. Qofkii su'aal qabo ama wax iga saxaayo, soo dhawaada.

ps, is it me mise kuligood scar aa madaxa uga yaalo...sorry, xaasameeyaahee hadee indhaheyga notice gareeyeen.. Wax aan loo joogin aragtaa. Balaayo sideed indhood ah, weershe ilbuunsan yaa dhaho. Adigana meel can jeexan ama il jeexan ka hadlee, iyagiina ciyaal rafaadsan ah. Their smiles, however, just makes you to rethink about what you really know about life, particularly considering their daily hardships and they are still smiling like that.

Daa'uud, Mississauga -- pronounced as Misisaaga -- is Koronto's little sister city, literally next door with some 700,000 people, many of them South Asians.

Why do Soomaali people all look so similar? first of all i need to say that im not at all racist, but to me all somali people look very similar. Do somali people think that british/ americans all look similar? I guess it must be something to do with genetics or something- but how come you cant tell which country other african people come from? no smart as s answers please, thanks for your answers in advance. Your answers are needed here.

Originally posted by Caamir: Blessed Our difference is that I am a civic nationalist where as you sound like an ethnic nationalist. I conceive of our nation-state and its membership in and loyalty to it in terms of citizenship, common law, (discount Somali’s break down) and political participation, whereas you conceive of our nation-state’s membership and loyalty to it in terms of lineage and nomadic culture. Hence I am not driven by a political desire to impress ethnically defined interests on the agenda of the Somali state, and in the process deprive our Somali people of their right to political participation and citizenship. It is beautiful to achieve the collective aspiration and unity of our entire Somali Speaking community, but that is a reckless adventure and it has been a recipe for extremism, exclusiveness, secessionism, and last but but least a possible international anarchy. You are wrong and contradicting the constitution of 1960, approved by the vast majority of Soomaalis in a referendum. Yes, there are two sets of Soomaalis: The Soomaali who is both ethnically Soomaali as well as a Soomaali by nationality and those who are not ethnically Soomaali, but are Soomaali by nationality. "Soomaali Bantu" [a term I don't agree with] community is the latter. To those who are ethnically Soomaali, but live the occupied and neglected Soomaali Galbeed or NFD, they are automatically Soomaali by nationality as well, as per set by by that constitution of 1960. That is why many residents of Gaarisa, Mandheera and Wajeer, as well as those who were born in Jigjiga, Diradhabe and Qabridahare travelled around the world carrying Soomaali passports, obtained in Muqdisho no questions asked. You naively consider Soomaali Galbeed to be part of "Itoobiya." It is not. It is occupied, regardless how long or decades it is. Reer NFD as well, which never was part of so-called Ingiriis isku kab kabay Kenya in colonial times. As the very name itself suggests, it was a remote frontier post, controlled separately from other lands that became later part of Kenya. The residents of this region also approved overwhelmingly to be part and parcel of Soomaaliya. Gumeysidoon Ingiriis refused to recognize.

It is a wholly different matter, though, being mapping who controls what of some far-flung hamlets and villages in Soomaaliya. What you coloured today will not be there in days or weeks, let alone in months or years. Soomaaliya and its regions, including towns, is in a continuous stage of endless evolutionary cycle. Nothing lasts and settled unless a true central government rules. What you are attempting should be commended for informing the uninformed about the political reality on the ground; however, it is a waste of time since it will change in a few months.

What is with you and maps? Does little dusty villages and towns in Soomaaliya changing hands -- albeit temporarily since there is no permanent, save a few towns -- fascinate you? What if you started mapping Soomaaliya and its regions monthly since 1991? Waaba ku dhufan lahayd by now.

Their teasing hearteaseness smiles is worth just anything you can think. Thoroughly beautiful Soomaali children in Jabuuti, though as sad as their predicatement and environment around them looks, including the discernible poverty. Still biyuudhiful and cute, especially at dhoolacaddeyntooda, their tender smiles just forces you to smile back. --------- More

Even the persistent droughts and famine that gripped the country did not extinguish traditional sense of Somali community, he said. When he was 7 years old and his father's entire herd was wiped out in the 1974 drought of 1974, he recalled, his neighbors insisted he be evacuated on a plane before them. "My feet never touched the ground. People carried me on and off the plane because back then, people really cared for each other," he said. "Today there is so much clan hatred nobody cares for anyone." Waa kaasaa Soomaalinimadii waagaas jirtay. Abaartii Dabadheer ka hadlaayaa, see iskugu gurmadeen Soomaalida.
