An appreciation thread for Indiana Univresity.

 

But such is a BIG task gathering large amount of books and making them digital.

 

 

I have seen most of the books and read long time ago, but they no longer in my possession, to have them again is wonderful

Great book indeed. Adeegto was written by Mohamed Hassan who was the dean of Lafoole University.

 

Great library NASSIR. I have visited quite a few times in the past.

[AYOUB]

Great stuff, Kacaan overtones notwithstanding.

^^^ Forget about the Kacaan yaa Ayoub, everythin you see there is a treasure

 

 

Did you recognised any of the books about dugsiyada hoose/dhexe/sare.

 

 

It is good reading Physics in Af Soomaali though, this has bein my favorite subject all along.

you cant download the books or anything but it is still really good.

 

its really hard to find books in somali or books to study somali or even books that are ABOUT somalia! so you can tell that they worked really hard on it
