It is really sad. Speaking Somali is considered(in some Somali environs)being uncivilised . I kind of grew up in such an evironment. Afrikaanimo iga dheh! Contrary to the European societies(who are deemed to be civilised and we love to simulate) are so proud of their languages and traditions. And even push their children to learn their mother tongue/tradition even if they are born outside their home country. Growing up I remember waan ka faani jirnay in aan cunno Ugali(soor). And now I envy Norwegians who eat a thousands old meal every thursday(young and old in every homestead). You'll find Somali, Swahili, Norwegian and of course Ingiriis in my language thesaurus. How do u expect young Somalis kids growing up in the West or Carabaha to write Somalia unless their parents teach them or send them to some kind of tutor? Maxee tahay "Somalia, Somalia" aad ku heysid? Afkee waaye afkaas? Intee loogu hadlaa? Adigoo leh kuma arki "England, England" when talking about Afingiriis, ee afkeena haku ciyaarin, dalkeena meel loogu wicin ha ugu wicin. Afsoomaali waa Afsoomaali, Soomaaliya waa Soomaaliya, kala saar. Wah. Ciyaalka ku dhashay dibadahana, ma kuwa Afgaanka iyo Bakistaamiinta iyo Hindida iyo Turkiga iyo Kurdishka iyo ... -- ma kuwaas ayee dhaamaan? Kuwaas jiilkooda jiilkee dhaleen [in another way, aabahooda xataa inta ku dhashay] afkooda hooyo ku hadlo wali. Soomaali dad iska jaahil ayaa ka buuxo, kana faantano afkooda, waligoodba saas iska ahaa, ha ahaado kii laba erey Talyaani bartay in '60s oo aloore, aloore ku heyn jiray ama kii maanta laba Sawaaxili qaabdaran hakuna matata lasoo shirtagaayo. Had iyo jeer dad nagu dhex jiro moodo af shisheeye inay tahay aqoon iyo ilbaxnimo ku hadalkeeda, waana tan ay heesta Magool ku heysto af qalaad aqoon miyaa. Afkii kaligiis kalsooni la'aanta heysato ma'ahee, waa dhaqankii xataa. Waakaasa magacyada Carbeed ciyaalkeena loogu yeeraayo, xataa Carabta lama baxaan waxee Soomaalida u bixiyaan maanta. Xataa arag qolkaan? Mid walba af jini ka hormarsiiye afkooda hooyo ee Soomaaliyeed.Shuud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Separatist Posted February 15, 2008 ^^ Lol@ the flight 13 guy. Seems the same is happening here, Gediidow. I should as well add German to my language dictionary since I once flew over Frankfurt. Not mentioning Swedish and Danish that I understand almost 70 % (This is true though). Lol. Well said, MMA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted February 15, 2008 Afkii kaligiis kalsooni la'aanta heysato ma'ahee, waa dhaqankii xataa. Waakaasa magacyada Carbeed ciyaalkeena loogu yeeraayo, xataa Carabta lama baxaan waxee Soomaalida u bixiyaan maanta. Xataa arag qolkaan? Mid walba af jini ka hormarsiiye afkooda hooyo ee Soomaaliyeed.Shuud. Saaxib horta run baad ka hadashay, maalin dhowayd nin baanu Suuqa isku qabsaney, Sadex ciyaal oo uu dhalay buu daadihinaayey, markaas sheeko ka dib baan caruurtii waydiiyey magacyadooda? Waxa ii sheegeen wax kuba adag oo carabkoodu aanu karayn, oo anan hada xuusan? Markaan la yaabay, Baan isagii waydiiyey? oo iri, waa maxay sidani? Maxaad caruurtaada kala doontay magacyadan aan cidi ba karayn? Indha adayg waxa uu iigu jawaabey soo carab manihin? :mad: , Dood ka dib waxa aan ka dareemay in uuna kuba kalsoonayn magacyada Soomaaliga ah. Dhibku intaas maahe, Soomaali badan weliba qurbaha baa taas la qabba. Back to the topic, I speak Somali English Arabic--Moderate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of children( 2nd or third generation) that write their language is logically declining amongst all ethnicities. However, one could say it is increasing at a faster with regards to Somalis. That is because other communities have homework clubs and communities that teach people how to write their home languages. I highly doubt that there are many places in London that teach how to write Somali properly. It's people like yourself who should really be setting up once a week classes for Somali children/youngsters @ your local community or school halls. .........

Blessed Posted February 15, 2008 I speak read and write Somali, Enlish a bit of Arabic and about 10 Spanish phrases (from 5 years of learning.. khasaarah). Waakaasa magacyada Carbeed ciyaalkeena loogu yeeraayo, xataa Carabta lama baxaan waxee Soomaalida u bixiyaan maanta. Inta kale kugu raacey, laakin magacdayadan aad cayeeysaa waa qaar Islamic ah! Magacda Somaalida aad ayey u macaan yihiin, laakin qof ahaan kuwa saxaabida ama Islamiga ah ayaan jeclahay... and that's the case for many Somalis. I find reer UK to be the only Somalis in diapora that are proud of their language. I know alot of kids who are born and bred in the UK and speak great Somaali.
