The Somali Language... Is It Arabic? || Arabic with Sam Podcast #40

[@Ahhh11]

This brother needs to look outside the contraints of arab v somali. Somali is older than arabic. Before the language of the somali people was even called "Somali" They spoke a language that was shared between the southern arabs and horn of africans. Somali and Arabic have the same origins but diverted.

[@Ahhh11]

sometime during history the southern arabs who shared the same culture and language as the horn of africans (somalis, ormosx afar ect) got invaded by eurasians (turks) and you get the modern arabs.

Of course Somali is older 😂 Arabic was just yesterday. Most of the words in Arabic are Aramaic, Hebrew, Somali, Semitic etc..... Arabs only came about around 2 thousand years ago around the time of our Prophet Muhammed whereas the Ancient Egyptian, Hebrews, Cushitic Somali, Semitic Ethiopians/East Africans, babylonia, phoenicians.

Somali is an enigmatic and eternal language as Arabic

[@azakzaak1691]

The similarities between Somali and Arabic are the result of having the same root (Afro-asiatic). For example alphabes of the two languages are spoken similar except letter ‘’G’’ and they also have similar sounds although not the same order. A lot people therefore confuse Somali with Arabic especially when they hear it first time. Somalis can learn Arabic fairly very quicker than English or German. Somalis can easily pronounce Arabic word without accent. There are Arabic words that exist in Somali and both are used interchangeably in Somali.

The North had Arab gene flow from the Near East/Middle- East around Syria/Iran, and this is shown in genetic tests ad the T male haplogroup and Female M and N mtdna. These genes are more frequent in the North, so the North definitely has old Middle Eastern genes, which were anterior to Islam. Now, nothing says these genes were from Arab as it could have been Iranian or from other M-E, but due to the huge number of common words, it would make sense if these genes were Arab genes. The only other possibility would be that Somali has common roots with Semitic language without being Semitic. Or the two possibilities could explain the huge Arabic or Arabic sounding vocab in Somali

Somali language is ancient. Very close to afar and some oromo. Also it is connected to the ancient egyptian language. When they used to trade it is said they spoke with one language plus as we know Egyptians look much like cushites and east Africans. Only reason people think it is similar to arabic is because we can say arabic letters plus remember we traded with the arabs which inevitably makes people borrow a few words. Don't take Somalia out of Africa as the whites did to Egypt to make it feel more semitic to fulfill their own biblical stories. The arabic league has nothing to do with us. we are muslims and close to the middle east. That is it. economic gain and nothing at all.

Mohamed Ahmed I don’t think so bro, read the language structures and how they come to be. In Eastern Africa, numbers alone bring us close while takes us far away from Arabic. We have the same numbers as the rendille, afar, Oromo and many other Cushitic groups. Just bluntly saying we are closer to Arabic than our brothers here makes no sense. Trust me, when Arabs call us “you are like us”, they are just drawing a box within us which starts to separate us from our long history of blood of people who our forefathers lived and shared lives.

Don't embarass us and educate yourself first. There's no such. All Somalis have common ancestry and other Cushitic speakers are closest of kinship. Arabs are assimilated people through the Islamic conquest same way the English forced everyone in UK to speak English. Arabia was multicultural before the conquest. Jahilia will always embarass themselves and the rest of humanity. Arabs are cousins and we are actually older than them. Just their language, population and wealth overlapped us because of Islam and all the years they have been assimilating so many other nations and races. Do you think a Yemeni and a Lebanese share common genes?

Somali language and Arabic have nothing to do with each other. The Somali language is an ancient language that was used before 9 thousand years BC and used the letter x, kh before Arabic, and the Somali language is an African Cushitic language, and the Arabic language is a Semitic Arabic language, so you are not a Somali who speaks in our tongue, you are also a foreigner !!!!!!!! !!

There is no argument about the skin colour of Somalis. The Somalis are, as is evident to the naked eye, dark-coloured. Rather the argument is about their origin. Recently, with the advent of genetic tests, this question has been resolved. Somali genetics has been determined and found to be as follows. Y dna haplogroup is from father to son to male grandchildren unless there is disruption in the male line. 1- African y dna haplogroups: e1b1b (80% of Somali origin and with the highest frequency in the world) and e1b1a (3%). 2- Euroasian y dna haplogroups: T (15% (highest frequency in the world) and J (2%). With this the argument about Somali origin has finaly been resolved and should, therefore, be closed.

arabic is semitic somali is cushtic however i would say that somalis speak a form of colloqiul arabic, somali arabic. This has not been recognised perhaps due to unwillingness from somalis to be associated with arabic culture more than needed(islam), therefore giving the feeling that they are not losing their culture. Also the other quite obvious reason that the arabic somalis speak is not considered a dialect by the arab world is due to the obvious fact that somalis are not arabs.

Come on now aren't you overstepping your boundary now? Just because you know UK Somalis or your in laws doesn't mean you know all Somalis. Backhome yes they do know Arabic however due to the civil war many teachers and schools stopped. So ppl are now not educated like the past. Whereas before Arabic was a common language taught and Somalis have a stronger like to Arabia than Africa. Many in the previous generations knew Arabic and learnt it in Somalia/Somaliland/Djibouti etc. Also big Somali tribes have Arabic founders. Also Somali wasnt a written language so Arabic was used. Arabic is very important in Somali history and known to the Arabs. Somalis can easily be Arabs as being Arab is not a colour. Just give your perspective to what you see but don't assume you know everything or the answers.

you are Ridiculous, in so many levels. Somali is the founder of the entire afro Asiatic language. It is the oldest language. It’s pre days the Hebrew language; just because it wasn't written does not mean the language was just established Recently; more importantly, our original writing style was stopped. We adapted to this Arabian after the seventh century because of religion. And we do not identify ourselves as Arabian. We are African; we are The Nubians.
