Puntland should reinstate Osmania alphabet

[General Duke]

Yes. One must not lose his heritage. Osman Yusuf Kenadeed what a legend.

[Peace Action]

Computer technology of the past 20 years has equalized all kinds of alphabets. Osmaniya today is very easy to implement it and it can be practical and economical.

Here is a book written in osmania

It should be reinstated throughout Somalia.

[Leezu]

^ Agreed, this is part of our heritage, national and culture identity. Does it matter which other alphabet it looks like? No. Is it ugly? Maybe to the people who are westernized and see Latin as beautiful, some people think Chinese looks ugly but the Chinese thinks it looks good. Its the same, we will get used to this alphabet after a while and Somalis will think its beautiful aswell.

[UZTAAD]

Maasha allah,it is so beautiful .god bless osman yusuf kenadid. we can be proud of it as other nations who have their own script. it should definitively be taught in schools and university throughout Somalia.

[Carafaat]

there is also the ***** and Tumaal script. And in Borama they alsu used to have their own old script.

[kingofkings]

^^^^ what's your point?

[Carafaat]

that there are more old scripts then Osmaniya script.

None match its calligraphy and that's why it is by far the most famous and widely used out of all of them.

again what's your point. this is not a thread of other alphabets of somalia. This thread is exclusively dealing with osmania and it should be a priority for future puntland education minister.

no, their was movement the early 70s to use osmania, but some in the government went against it for no reason other than qabil, so since somalia is federal, why not bring the alphabet to puntland. if it successful, then we can think how to make national. in other words, start local and go national.
