Similarities Between Arabic and Somali
Ойын-сауық
Somali and Arabic are both Afro-Asiatic languages and share a lot of common words. In today’s episode, Ramla, a Somali speaker from Somalia, and Tamara, an Arabic speaker from Jordan, demonstrate some of the commonalities between the two languages.
Somali belongs to the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic languages and holds official status in Somalia.Meanwhile, Arabic is a Central Semitic language and the official language of Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Arabic is also the liturgical language of 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.

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.

@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
@AbdirahiimYa
Жыл бұрын
@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.

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.

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.

Hey guys, What an amazing videos I'm Egyptian and i strongly believe that there are huge similarities between Spanish, Italian and Egyptian Arabic So it would be awesome if we can make a video about similarities between these languages and i would like to be part of it 😃
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 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.

Thank you
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.
