Somali Dictionary Author Deceased

[Abu-Salman]

Allah yarxamhu,

 

it seems professor Salah Hashi Arab "Ereykobe" or Somali-Somali dictionary published by the "Institut des Langues de Djibouti" (ILD, part of the Cerd or centre d' etudes et de recherche de Djibouti) looks incredibly professional, neat with several useful annexes, though not yet widely distributed.

 

That precious tool whose existence I did not even suspect until recently is part of Djibouti's efforts to preserve the Somali, apparently classified as one of the "endangered languages"...

PS: Do/did Somalis use Somali-Somali Dictionaries by the way?

[Somalina]

The dictionary he has done will allow the transmission to children of this great legacy of their ancestors. "A child who does not speak his native language correctly will experience all the evil in the world to control those of others," observes Salah Hashi. Besides his work will be a "vital tool" in the basic education of the Somali language.

Allah u naxariisto Salah. Reerkiisana, Allah samir iyo iiman ha ka siiyo.

[Jacaylbaro]

Allah ha u naxariisto .............

[Som@li]

Eebe ha u naxariisto,hawshuu Soomaali u hayeyna haka abaal mariyo.

 

The Somali language is endangered.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Rabi ha u raxmada marxuumka.

 

Reer Jabuuti fursad weyn ayee u leeyihiin inay afkeena Soomaaliga hormariyaan, waana jeclaan lahaa inay hormariyaan inkastoo saas u muuqan. Sidaa u jeclahay see dhaqankeena wali ugu dhaganyihiin ayaa ula jeclaan lahaa afkeena meel sare gaarsiiyaan.

 

Meesha kaliya dhulka Soomaaliyeed maanta dirac iyo garbasaar si caadi ah loogu gishto waa Jabuuti. Inta kale Soomaaliya kuma arkeysid labiskaan, kaliya lagu arkaa meelaha qaaska ah ee aroosyada ama xafladaha. Aad ugu farxaa markaa arko Reer Jabuuti saas ugu labisan.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. The Somalis lost a literary giant.
