Somali Greeting

Comments Off on Somali Greeting

Here is a greeting in Somali:

"Subax waa ku soo dir!" (Ah-foo wah koo-soh dee-r)

Translated into English, this means: "Good morning to you!"

The self-name for the Somali language is Af-Soomaali.

Fun fact: The modern Somali language has no written tradition prior to the 20th century, but it has evolved significantly since then, with a standardized writing system and a thriving literary culture!
