Great somalis you may never have heard of.

Shire Jama Ahmed

Was a Somali linguist who is credited with having devised a unique Latin script for transcribing the Somali language. Shire Jama's winning Somali Orthoraphy was chosen from eighteen competing new orthographies in 1972 by the Language Committee and the ruling party. The committee commenced its work back in 1960.

 

In the late 1960s, Shire and a few other Somali linguists presented before the Somali Language Committee, an organization in charge of settling Somalia's outstanding language issue, and eventually deciding between several prospective orthographies. These scripts ranged from Arabic to some resembling Ge'ez, an ancient Ethio-Semitic writing system. Among those proposed was the Osmanya script, an orthography invented in the early twentieth century by the ********** poet and ruler, Osman Yusuf Kenadid, which had enjoyed a strong following. Shire's competing orthography, for its part, was derived from Latin characters, and it omitted a few letters (p, v and z) to accommodate the unique sounds of the Somali language. Shire also introduced combination letters (kh, dh and sh), which were in many ways exclusive to the language. In 1972, his proven orthography was selected as Somalia's national writing script for Af Soomaali (as the Somali language is traditionally referred to).

bisinka..maxaa ku qaade walaalo...

 

lol@Che..indeed. I was puzzled! mise this is "quit following me kind of posters" respond that i see you are getting the back-hand of it lately. Cajiib.

 

 

As for the thread. Asli is my HERO..she's got some stamina.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

I heard some of them. They are not great, either.

 

The only 'great' person in this list I can attest to is Asli Calansida.

[Che -Guevara]

lool@raula....SOL has become center for grown men with too much sensitivities and not good kind. The poster is pissed at me for my actions in another thread where I merely questioned the relevance of news article he posted. I felt the excitement shown by him wasn't proportional to the actual weigh, importance or relevance of the article.

 

Now MMA will be condemned for saying some of the people on the list are not great:D

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

 

Runtii, Che, what is so 'great' about kunka shilin ayaa sawirkeyga ku yaalo (she is lucky haddeeba nasiib u heshay, though islaan kale la sawiran), Manchester City ayuu once hal game u ciyaaray iyo Ina Wariiri.

[Che -Guevara]

MMA.....Maybe Abdisalam is the Somali Jackie Robinson of Premiership

[raula]
