Muhammad Posted June 24, 2003 Somali is the correct form. I also get angry when people call me Somalian. It sounds like saying: "Some Alien" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AYOUB Posted June 24, 2003 I think the question is it Somali or Soomaali? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thought_Control Posted June 25, 2003 salam somali or somalian end of the day the meaning its the same besides wy one hates to be called a somalian? thats beyond me cant see the logic. yep north america tends to call us somalis while the rest of the world calls us somalian.

Oocyte Posted July 4, 2003 Originally posted by HornAfrique: Yaa tahay? Soomaali baan ahay. This sums it up! Whatever language one is speaking, the word is always Somali not Somalian. OG_Girl, Sis we are not Arabs and Somaliyah doesnt exist wether its for male or female. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wind talker Posted July 4, 2003 somali is the correct label. no such as thing as somalian. it was probably coined by foreigners and picked up on by somalis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
