Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted February 17, 2008 Boorana is generally considered a dialect of Afan Oromo [Aforomo] and the closest language to Afsoomaali, beside Rendille, is Boorana.

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. Many of magacyada ee maanta la baxaan Soomaalida qaarkood has nothing to do with Islamic, or so they think wrongly it has to do with that. There are not generally any agreed "Islamic names," but those that are considered to be generally "Islamic" are very few. Max'ed, Abuukar, Cumar, Cali, Cismaan, Caasho, Faadumo, Seynab, Khadiijo, et cetera, et cetera la garay, not Imtisaar, Imtihaar iyo wixii kale. Almiina Imtixaan la garay mee la baxaan kaas. __________________ 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. Wuuba isla sii qumanyahay kaas yaah? I am glad many are realizing ka carar magacyadooda Soomaaliyeed inay meelna ku gaareynin and opting out the true, original Cushitic Soomaali names. Magacyadii hore oo aanan Soomaaliga ahayn ayaaba dhaamay kamid ahaa Sahro iyo Yaasmiin, which has the same meaning as Ubax, still waa u dulqaadan jirnay, but maanta? Sahradii ayaaba afar loo badalay, mid u bixiso gabadheeda Sara iyo mid kale Sarah.

You will never hear people emigrating from Vietnam to Xamar let alone Hoolwadaag...marka qofyahay Xaafad makuugu dhicin ee iska badal... Aaliyah...You need a Visa to go to Kismaayo and we wont issue one for you unless you pay $100,000 deposit...the reason why the fee is so high is because once people come to Kismaayo they never want to leave and go back to wherever that is they came from marka sorry walaashiis we can't take chances anymore...nothing personal and I hope you understand that.
