yurrrrrrrrrrrrr
I was born in Somalia never traveled in others Arab countries, I went to italy this year as a student, Along with my classmates from around the world, when we cant find English speaking person, I was capable to speak with Moroccans, Egyptians and Yemenis, from there my Speaking capability in Arabic increased, before that I only learned Arabic from my elementary school age while I learnt Islamic studies from different Masjid
How did you get Italy to education ; any help
You are still a black African, Somalis have lost their identity because of Arabs and Islam.

Somali language is an Afroasiatic language belonging to the Cushitic branch. It is spoken as a mother tongue by Somalis in Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and the Somali diaspora. The Somali language is written officially with the Latin alphabet. Somali linguistic varieties are broadly divided into three main groups: Standard Somali, Benadir and Maay.

Urdu
Abdirahim Mussa yes, Urdu cuz Urdu and Arabic have a lots in commons and I myself trying to learn Urdu and I have seen a lot of words that Somali and Urdu have in commons as well.
Hamdi Cadey Some words in Urdu and Somali are similar. In Somali we say roti for bread and we also say gaari for car but we also say baabur for car from a south Yemeni Arabic dialect. But I think Somali and Urdu or Hindi have similarities because of the spice trade between us ❤️

*hawa* = air
*hewan* = animal
@abdullah fadhel thank you brother Fadhel.. Syukran... Terima kasih 😊 🇮🇩💞🇮🇶👍
Masha’allah
We also say Xoolo for animal or cattle in Somali
Meaning Hoolo
@Planet07 basically yes, just a little bit accent and spelling difference, as i know, in Malaysian =
*haiwan* VS in Indonesian *hewan* means animal but both have other word for animal = *binatang* or in Indonesia *satwa* , i think the last one came from Sanskrit and used in literary/very official context as in *suaka margasatwa* means animal/wildlife reservation area
All those words are found in the Quran, and every nation that accepts it tends to have it's own dialect when reading it
Indonesians say Kamus
Somalis say Qamoos
How you say foreign words is greatly influenced by your mother tongue.

This was extremely interesting and highly appreciated vlog.
Totally loved it. Bahador, I feel it will be interesting to touch more on the script of the languages in your show, just to get an idea of how they write in that language 🙂
Majority of the somali loan words used in this video all have original somali words. For example for khatar translated to danger we say “halis” for face “weji” the original somali word is “fool” the word (hawo/ air) the original somali word for it is “dabeel” other words like soul “naf” “nafta” in arabic, in somali the oringinal word is “ruux” another example is luuqad/langauge we say “af” which is a metaphoric way of speaking as it also translates to mouth in somali. The word value “qiimo” in somali is qaddari. The original somali word for respect is not ixtiram but “cis/ darajo” the word animal the original word in somali is xoolo. Xayawaan is a loan word. The original word in somali for liar is beenaale/beenloow/beenlaay. The other 2 words are gendered so when referring to a women as a liar you could say she’s a beenlaay but for a male you would say beenloow. Hope thay cleared some of the misunderstanding. Somali is an ancient cushitic langauge and we still use our original native somali words more often instead of loan words.
The word you mentioned are arabic too.
عِزّ = respect /cis , which means also honor
درجة = darajo/credit
روح : Soul/ ruux
قيمة: value/qiimo
the word dabeel means wind in both arabic and Englisch.
@sam sufi I’ve attended both intermediate and secondary school in Somaliland and had Somali and Suugaan as a subject throughout all those years and yes fool means face and the things you mentioned except for forehead. And af means both language and mouth. One word can have several meanings depending on the context. Most languages have that
@sam sufi
I actually disagree with several points you made. Firstly, the root meaning of a word does not change no matter how you use it but how it's grammatically structured in a sentence clarifies what meaning is being conveyed. "Fool" has three meanings; "face, "front tooth" and "labour" so depending on how you structured the sentence it can mean either of the three. Secondly, I do agree that we've got a lot of similar words that we share with others but one of the ones you mentioned is in fact a loan word. Take for example; "foog" comes from the English word "fork". Thirdly, half of Somalis don't come from Arabs, that's significantly misleading propaganda that has been started for the past century, no ethnic Somali are descendants of Arabs no matter their clan. Only a fraction of Somalis(nationality wise) are actually descendants of Arabs and the Ashraf might also be, but apart from them, no one is.
There is a lot of words in Somali language but origanaly comes from Arabic language.
Soul or spirit in Arabic is ru7/ruh روح .
The "nafs" also Arabic it's the same as self or spirit or soul .
Ruh and nafs both Arabic.
Also the word value In Arabic is both Qima and Qadar قدر both are Arabic qaddari also come from Arabic qidr/qadar just like qimo came from qima قيمة.
Its really beautiful to compare between languages . As a fluent both Somali and Arabic languages I have seen thousons of semilar words ...thank u.
The first thing every Somali household does is put their kids in holy Quran school before anything else and every Somali can read and write in arabic
Somalia is between two continents and they often get confused but they are genuine people and their culture is exactly like the old Arab culture sending love to our Somali friends around the world.
Somalia isn't between two continents. Lol, where did you get that information?
@@sumayajama9032 P0robably means like its the meeting point between africans and arabs, Somaliland is literally right next to yemen
@@sultanofsomaliland9332 It isn't though. There are literal arab countries in the African continent so it is still not logical and Somalia isn't the meeting point.
@@sumayajama9032 probably not arabs then but the meeting point between the middle east and central africa
@@sultanofsomaliland9332 Lol, Central Africa?? You mean East Africa? And if you are talking of connecting points between Middle East and Africa, it would be Egypt🤷♀️

@@GeeljirePower there's this London based channel called (Al hiwar) ; they broadcast a weekly program on Eritrean affairs where the host and her Eritrean guests always spoke fluent Arabic...I was always wondering how could they speak it so fluently. Any explanation ?

Somali is like the Latin alphabet version of Arabic in my opinion. You should try Somali vs Persian or Somali vs Turkish I am 18% Lebanese and my mom’s side knows Arabic. So cool
Quick cool fact that the capital of Somalia Mogadishu/مقديشو originates from the Persian word مقعد اه شاه/ maq’ad e shah meaning the seat of the sha. Before persia became Shia we had close ties with them
Somali and turkish have also much semilares

FINALLY A VIDEO ON THE SOMALI LANGUAGE!
There is a somali word for Waji= fool
Many Somali words were displaced by arabic words.
We somalis should use both, so we don’t neglect our language. It’s our identity.
True but I think fool actually means "Forehead" or at least in the region where I came from.
@@joblessarts
Yes indeed..
Fool does not mean the whole face, just forehead!
@amip Somali tapes, it means both. Like the nickname given to someone with big forhead „fooldheere“ and it means the whole face as well. Remember the maahmaah „Far keliya fool ma dhaqdo“
Fool and waji is different
Languages evolve overtime and gradually old words are replaced with new words (often loan words) while the old ones are relegated or take on a different meaning. The original Somali word for face is fool and that's why "ugly" means foolxumo in Somali. It literally means ugly face, think about how weird it would be if it meant ugly forehead. Also Abdullah gave a great example, usually Somali poetry and maahmaah contain a more refined set of vocabulary.
Manshallah People learning each other very nice to me
In school our second language is Arabic, that’s where we learned from. People who born after 1991 don’t know Arabic but in general we have the most Arabic lahja in Qur’aan. My 10 years old daughter can read Quran like 10 years old girl lives in Soudi Arabia. We have some words similar to Arabic, we really don’t speak Arabic. How we are like this, I don’t have no idea. In Somali we are 99.99999% Muslim alhamdulilaah ( in Somali we say Alxamdulilaah). I like you guys challenge, keep going👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
oooh this is gonna be a cool one
Languages can be similar but i belief somali language is the oldest language in planet.🇸🇴
@@mosy5277 my be

@@JUPlYS actually the cushitic ones like oromo afar
Mez Waz Somali langue is old it about 9000 years old u do know people started in East Africa 🤦🏾♂️
Mez Waz search it in google it says it 9,000 old
Interesting program.
People sometimes forgot the distant history but the official written language in Somalia prior 1972 was Arabic. Written Somalia Language was creating in 1972. The creation of the official Somali language has eliminated the need to have Arabic as the official language and lessened the importance of younger generations to learn the Arabic but you can still find a lot of similar words in the Somali Language even if the pronunciation may be different.
Not the language. You mean Somali language used Arabic script until the 1970s.
Arabiç also borrowed from the Phoenicians.
Cushitics had scripts long before the Arabs such as the Meroitic script.
All Afroasiatic languages influenced one another since having common canvas to start with
Hawd Somal I think that’s what he meant by original written language being Arabic. This is my opinion but I would have preferred if we kept the Arabic script over using latin. Almost all of us already learn to read it for the Quran and it looks a lot better lol
@@fai-pe7oq I prefer the Latin script coz Arabic one is just too complex and needs far more resources to educate highly illiterate society like Somalis.
Arabic script needs too much time and is bit disadvantage in the modern technological world. Even Arabs use numbers such as 9 and 3 to communicate online.
We made wise move and within 3 years literacy jumped by 50%
@@HawdNot to correct you but the numbers that are now used in English and other languages are considered Arabic Numerals. Look it up 😂😂🤣

Istimal is adopted in Hindi means same thing (use) , wajah is the reason in Hindi, kayada is law in Hindi, Khatra is danger in Hindi, hawa is air in Hindi, Qaima is pronounced as Keemat in Hindi. So much for Indo Iranian being separate family then Arabic
Hindi is just Farsi.... Sanskrit is the real language.
vib sh Actually Hindi took it from Urdu lol
@@YouCantHandleDisz Urdu and Hindi were not languages, there was a single language named Hindustani. So no one took it from anyone.
Edit: And Hindustani was nothing but Persian (Farsi) + Sanskrit. So both the new languages got something from both the old languages, nothing amongst each other.
vib sh In 18th century India it was “Urdu” that was regarded as the lingua franca and spoken by majority of people, because modern Hindi till then was unknown, and no literature existed in it. Development of modern Hindi was a much later occurrence actually, you can read more here.
The Problem of Hindustani (1944) by Tara Chand
vib sh All Arabic/Farsi words are taken from Urdu, into Hindi. Ordu/Urdu developed as a language for Muslims in the region to make connections with each other and trade with Muslim nations. “Hindi” developed years after Muslim rule ended.
Somalia has many dialects of Somali also example: asaga= him or Ousi= him; Ayada= her and eeda= her; my mom speaks Benadiri somali but she can understand other dialects really well and adjust to it. The Somali girl here is so sweet! ☺️

Arabic is the second widely spoken language in Somalia after Somali and is an official language. It is used on sign boards,schools,government offices and even the car number plates are in Arabic. It isn't fluently spoken but it's well understood. We can all pick up a few lines 😂. Another comparison you should try is Italian vs Somali. I'm sure there's alot of similarities as well. Somali is just a fusion honestly 🇸🇴
Somali isnt a fusion its a old Cushitic language its related to Arabic and Hebrew but its completely different Somalia only joined the Arab league in the 1970s most Somalis dont speak Arabic or understand it only Quran
That's what you know as Somali, because you dont know Somali, just a few words and sentences, its literally the oldest language in the world also one of the richest second only to arabic
Somali is Cushitic language (Oromo, Afar, Sidama, Agew, Saho, Konso) but in the larger group it's in the same roots as Arabic, Phoenician, Punic, Tamazight, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ancient Egyptian and so forth.
In another words, Somali is old and so is Arabic.
I understand both languages. There are loan words then there's phonetic, structural and the bases of speech.
Let me give you example. The word Ma is one of the fundamental words for both Somali and Arabic. You can't loan it.
Arabic
ما عِنْدِي
Ma éndi (Somali spelling: Ma cindi)
It means don't have
Now the Somali equivalence.
Ma laha (don't have)
Arabic: Ma ismak/ismuka
What is your name?
Somali: Ma tagaysa?
Are you leaving?
Arabic
Ma fee (not available)
Somali
Ma hayo (not available, don't have)
Ma can be used as "not, don't" or what/ask questions in both.
There countless such words. I will use Somali Latin spelling just keep in mind
X = ح
C = ع
Another example is/ist
Istiicmal (use)
Istarex (relax)
Istag (🇸🇴 stand up)
Ismamuul (self manage), mamuul is the same (administer/rule/manage)
Ma istiicmashay?
Have you used it?
Anigu waxan akhrista tariikhda
I read about history.
In Somali "Al/el" (the), changes according to the object:
Kursiiga (the chair)
Miiska (the table)
Babuurka (the car)
Shaha (the tea)
Milixda (the salt)
Even plural form and singular changes:
Rida (the goat)
Riyaha (the goats)
Ri (goat)
And it's endless.
Somali alphabet is same as Arabic minus 5 letters
Sounds are the same for example now days Arab teens use 7 for ح but in Somali ح = X
eg Xasan
B = ب
T = ت
J = ج
X ح
Kh خ
D د
R ر
S س
Sh ش
Dh ظ
C ع
G غ
F ف
Q ق
K ك
L ل
M م
N ن
H ه
W = و
Y = ي
The vowels are short and long like Arabiç shaqal
a, e, i, o, u
aa, ee, ii, oo, uu
Liibiyaa compared to Libya
ليبيا
Bahador you should pin this 💪🏿
masha allah shukran above that was great👍🏾🙏🏾
@T dots realest no one cares what ignorant tribalist person thinks. Education, facts and experts say otherwise. We don't expect a tribal mind to see beyond the village
@@Hawd Brother, you should start your youtube channel and educate somalis. You seem very well educated Dadka Iyo Dhqankeenaba Waad Taqaan Masha Allah. I wish i kenw you or you were my Daris. Waxbaddan baan kaabaran Lahaa Masha Allah.
@@maryamadahir1199 I am glad it helps. InshaAllah I will have TH-cam channel but may not be about languages.
Love this one!
I wonder, is Somali a Semitic language?
Somali is an Afroasiatic language belonging to the Cushitic branch. Most of the words that have been mentioned have non arabic synonym in somali that are not shared or taken from the arabic language. A large portion also comes from aincent Egyptian coptic language which is also afroasiatic. We also share word with south east asian like (gaari = car). (سيارة = car) (baabuur = car) also mean car in somali but also mean car in other languages. However when it comes to the connections between south asians and the somali language I'm unaware of who influenced who.
somali is hametic language
Somali and Arabic/Semitic are both branches of the Afro Asiatic family
@@gureyleaxmed317 wow thank you, I just they has same root, so it could be Semitic, Cushitic.
@@criticalthinker1123 exactly mate

Can you pls make a video about cushitic languages we have so many similar words, especially Af-Somali, Afaan-Oromo, Af-Saho, Afar-Af and Afo-sidamo languages
Love u somali brothers n sisters
Nice video Bahador I Wait for Kurdish and Armenian 🇦🇲❤️🇮🇷 ❤️🇹🇯 Love These Beautiful Languages
I am from Iran as well but I understand Arabic. My parents are Arabic they both speak Arabic. I understand basic Arabic
Are you Shi'a or Sunni?
@@zubairmohammadyusuf942 what is the tie between Shia, Sunni and Arabic?!!!
@@th9827 because it is Islam. I am not arab most arabs following the right path with ahle sunnat as I am doing also alhamdulillah but sadly some deviate to the sick cults like shi'ism, so I think we need to play a better role in guiding the misguided to right path
@@zubairmohammadyusuf942 The only sick thing here is you my friend, both cults are false anyway, religions no matter how complex and vast they are all fail to answer the golden question: prove it!
@@Spiderman-gg8dg LOLzzz probably another Indian Hindu worshipping the cow. Islam is the fastest growing religion and the only true religoin, you don't know nothing so I suggest you stfu because Islam keeps growing with or without your Islamophobic mentlity
Arabic and other languages that have Arabic accents (Somali, Afar, Saho, Tigrinya and Tigre) sound beautiful. 💖💖🇦🇪🇩🇿🇧🇭🇰🇲🇩🇯🇪🇬🇪🇭🇪🇷🇮🇶🇯🇴🇰🇼🇱🇧🇱🇾🇲🇷🇲🇦🇴🇲🇵🇸🇶🇦🇸🇦🇸🇴🇸🇩🇸🇾🇹🇳🇾🇪
Thank you
The all words i have seen we have in somali but maybe she doesn’t know bc somali become modern so alot of arabic and English involved because of the somali people who live in arab countries

Iam from somalia 🇸🇴 Arabic language is our second language because where are muslim 100%
And also somali language from Arabic in pronunciation and letters from Latin.
Somaali people understand well fusxa Arabic
There are actually Somali christians.
There are no Somali Christians
Yes there are no somali Christians
Afkeenu waa asal af kalena kama soo faracan
Abdi there are but they are persecuted
Part 2 please
I'm a Hebrew speaker and there are a lot of words from both of the languages that are so similar to Hebrew. Is Somali a semitic language?
Somali is an Afroasiatic language belonging to the Cushitic branch. Most of the words that have been mentioned have non arabic synonym in somali that are not shared or taken from the arabic language. A large portion also comes from aincent Egyptian coptic language which is also afroasiatic. We also share word with south east asian like (gaari = car). (سيارة = car) (baabuur = car) also mean car in somali but also mean car in other languages. However when it comes to the connections between south asians and the somali language I'm unaware of who influenced who. Somalia was however influenced by the arabs since islam was present in the region before islam even reached madina and the rest of arabia.
somali is hemetic language not semetic
Hebrew and Somali share many words and it will surprise many.
Hebrew: ani/anuk
Somali: ani/anaka
English: me/us
Hebrew: lehkha (to you)
Somali: adiga leh (it's yours)
Hebrew: ktsat
Somali: kisto
English: a little
Hebrew: Dai (enough/stop)
Somali: iida/daa (stop/leave it)
Hebrew: bishel (cooked)
Somali: biisel (ripped/cooked)
All Afroasiatic languages have same origins. Some vanished, some took on complete new path while others haven't rediscovered each others.
Somali is Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family while Hebrew is Semitic.
@@gureyleaxmed317 cushitic.
@@moonlunaq2087 yes but hemetic branch
great video! qatar can also mean cool lol
beni aden (Ibn Adam: human) also originates from arabic but I don't think the Jordanian girl caught that
khatar means halis in somali not cool cool would have an ther meaning also bini adam which means human in somali would be qof=person dad =hummen dadwayne=population or bulsho= population shacab bini adam khatr those words are arabic but their's somali equivlent words as i mentioned uper
If you really want to see Somali Arabic similarities check out the Somali words that start with the حرف خ
Big shout out both lady’ we love somali people they’re most humble people on the planet
nice
The somali girl is BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL!
I am from Somali and I speak 1.Somali
2. Arabic
3. English
So in somalia Arabic language is second language.
You should do Eastern Arabic vs western Arabic or mashreeq Arabic vs meghreeb Arabic
There is no point because the similair words would be Arabic
The ward's that they asked each other is what the similarity ward's between Somali and Arabic that they use .they are same for those ward's
عالی بود👌
Please do somali vs italy
Somali and Italian are more sem
Next video please do Somali and Amharic
Will you do American languages ( ancient American)
I'd love to feature native American languages!
