Why Osmaniya Script (Somali historic script) hasn't been adopted as official?

[Gabbal]

You better be careful, some folks lurking around in SOL are very defensive about that place (not HA though), you might get your eyes gorged out (I was saved after a similar remark because me is girl , you though are free game ).

 

Best be careful, stubbornness is not their only trait .

 

 

Rahima what? I thought you, yourself, would be all over Bari now You are a true and, much as you try hard to hide it , a loyal Reer Mudug too. Seeing as how you are a true Mudugian, I wonder where your reer Mudug "traits" went....

 

It's o.k, I think Smith hijacked them from you

[Rahima]

^ Me a true Mudugian? By birth maybe, but I don’t have to like it . I’d love to be from somewhere more exotic like Jamaama or Barava-how cool would that be :cool: *daydreams the endless possibilities*

 

I’ll tell you a secret, I often join in the reer mudug bashings , gives me a good laugh , so I can’t be a loyal reer mudug-some would call me a traitor, which is fine by me .

 

And if I had any traits at birth, they were washed out of me by the wish-wash of Melbournian culture.

Ameenah, would you support it if a nationwide, large scale programme supported and financed by the International community to teach the Somali populace the Usmaniya script?

Nop. I can list more immediate concernes for our people. Healthcare, poverty....

 

Also, the latin script is much easier to learn and acess. Wouldn't be a bother if you'd have to buy a specialist software just to type Somali.

 

In the ideal world it would be really nice to run a specialist on the the script...

[NASSIR]

Ameenah, thanks that was great compliment. For others, i hope our glorious past achievement will once raise our consciousness to learn it and teach our children.

[General Duke]

Rahima you what ? forget Jamam, Jilib, Barava or Kismayu. For me its all about the red plains of Mudug, Galkacyu, Garacad and how can I forget reer Abti up in Hobyo

 

As for Osmaniya, well it was one of the greatest achievements in Somali history. It should be taught at the academic level to those who want to learn it and there might be a few who are interested I know I am.

 

And Juma I totally agree with you we should have Suldan Kenadeed and his son Osman Yusuf Kenadeed on the new Somali currency they were giants in the annalls of Somalia

Agree.

[Nationalist]

Ameenah, you don't have to kick in open doors. I know there are more important issues. I feel like you have dodged my question. But never mind, I'll not force you to answer.

 

Rahima, where in Galkayo do you actually come from exactly, Barahley perhaps? You do know it's the most beautiful, wealthiest and safest area in Galkayo right?

Yeah that is where you and I differ; I couldn’t care any less about “ancestral†lands :rolleyes: - I prefer the fertile lands of the South (preferably costal cities like Kismaayo and Xamar). The weather does it for me.

Yes, sarcasm is so refreshing . That I thank you immensely for Nationalist, but even more I thank you for entertaining me at every chance given . You are a joke to the name Nationalist (oxymoron to say the least); first the evident bias of almost all your posts, then the laxoox saga and now this. Yep, it is cemented and amusing. Mahadsanid from the bottom of my heart .

 

Anyway brother, don’t let tribalism eat you inside- trust me I doubt the folks you hate so much and try as hard as possible to belittle know that you even exist (which is kind of sad don't you think, here you are day and night trying to take jabs and they go on with their lives). Taking such jabs at your fellow brothers (whether the folks of Baraxley or SL as you have done previously) is sad, mostly for you but also Somalia. Find something new to do, chess maybe ?

 

As for Baraxley on what grounds does the place deserve such honorary sarcasm? Could it be that it is occupied by the tribe you have unfavorable feelings towards (rhetorical, the answer is evident to any person reading your remarks)? I on the other hand brother, do not distinguish between my people hence Baraxley is part of my beloved country, the only ones I do however detest are those consumed by hate and qabiil. I pray that Allah cures them, for it is only that which will help them.

 

Have a nice day brother .

[Gabbal]

Rahima that was powerful. If Nationalist doesn't feel shame, then I don't know what to say.

 

Suldan Kenadeed and his son Osman Yusuf Kenadeed

Sultan Kenadid I understand, but why would you nominate Osman Yusuf for a spot on the currency instead of Cali Yusuf?

 

Cali Yusuf was much more legitimate, worthy of a kingship, and banished Osman Yusuf's greedy personality away.

[Blessed]

Nationalist,

Dodged your question? :eek:

Either you’re mistaking me for someone who gets deep about these things or my response wasn't satisfactory enough for ya.

 

Bottom line walaal, the major concern for our people as far as education goes is to increase the drastically low literacy levels.

 

Perhaps, you should acquaint yourself with the difficulties faced by the educators of our lands .. and tell me if introducing a completely different script would make an already mammoth task, impossible...!!

 

Somethings are beyond simple politics

[OG_Girl]

Well, we were reading Quraan before this script .. So Arabic is older than this and historic ..lol

 

I would vote to write Somali language in Arabic latters .. damn that would be easy for me to read and write Somali

 

Salam

Horn brother: Yusuf Ali Kenadeed was the father of both Ali Yusuf and Osman Yusuf the inventor of the script the Osmaniya.

 

Yusuf Ali founded the Hobyo sultanate, while his son Osman founded the Somali script. I dont know much about the second Suldan Ali Yusuf.

 

 

For me the two Kenadeed's mentioned above, the Sayid of the dervishes and the king of Bragaal where the heavy weights of their time.

 

Before them there where the Ajuraan dynasty of southern Somalia and of course the greatest Somali who ever lived Ahmed Ibrahim Al Ghazi or Ahmed Gran the left handed.

[Nationalist]

Are we getting a tad feisty here Rahima? My sincere apologies then. Perhaps you're not genuine Rer Mudugh?

Horn what happenned to your beloved Galgudud? and Rahima how come you suddenly got bored of your exact location? You two are very comical so all in all thank you! Abdullahi Yusuf clearly is something else.

What's next? application to become adopted by Abdullahi Yusuf's Upper Mudugh's subclan?

 

If I make you laugh Rahima, just imagine how you make me grin.

[Gabbal]

Horn what happenned to your beloved Galgudud?

Galgadud is the administrative name, but the land and culture is Mudug

 

Does it matter if one is from Waqoyi Galbeed or Togdheer, since obviously they're reer Waqooyi. :eek:

 

 

....and if you mean the change of my location to Xamar, then let me say it was the place I was born in and raised in , hence it should be my only place of "sheegato".

[Nationalist]

I concur Galgudud is Mudugh land, yet you always identified yourself as Rer Galgudud not Rer Mudugh till well over Abdullahi Yusuf's election to president of Somalia.

I just found it rather remarkable, that's all mate.

But Rahima's quick and more drastic hunger for Rer Mudughnimo amused me even more, to say the least.
