A Short Story About the Somali Language **Af-Soomaali**, the Somali language, is one of the major languages of the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family. It has been spoken for centuries across the Horn of Africa, especially in Somalia, Djibouti, eastern Ethiopia, and parts of Kenya. For generations, Somali knowledge, history, poetry, and traditions were passed from one generation to another through oral storytelling and poetry. In 1972 Somalia officially adopted a Latin-based writing system for Somalis. This helped make reading and writing more accessible and supported education throughout the country. Today, Somali is spoken by millions of people around the world. 🌍❤️ Learning Af-Soomaali. is not only learning a language—it is discovering a rich culture, history, and identity in Eastern Africa.
