Although one might argue that not speaking Arabic will not hinder anyone from learning the Islamic religion as well as the native did. <br /><br />Pero, I would definitely teach my children Arabic, insha'Allah righ after they learn how to speak Somali lol Princess https://www.blogger.com/profile/15789922218125075633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169352099380042486.post-42625386544705892572013-09-05T15:31:32.593-07:002013-09-05T15:31:32.593-07:00This is a really good post, languages and cultures...This is a really good post, languages and cultures are disappearing all the time, merging into global identity whic most try to conform to. There are so many factors that cause the dissapearance of language some of which is just blatant absent-mindedness on the parents part and some are so subtle it just creeps up on you.<br /><br />As for you country Somalia, I really don't think you have much to worry about, firstly there are plenty of Somalis still in and running to Somalia, secondly don't worry about the children of those who left, Somali have a lot of children is really it like no one ever left! ( I say that respectfully) thirdly, the country is starting to build up again slowly. I think Somalis love Somali/Somalia/themselves too much to let their language go, but saying that, it would have been better if they retained their original letters.<br /><br />You are so right when you said a people will lose their culture if they loose their language, you live in America, I let you figure the rest out!<br /><br />Question to you, can there if be a circumstance where it is positive or beneficial to substitute your language for another? Eg, some Muslims will say I want my child's first language to be Arabic or the parents will raise children in a Arab country without speaking in their mother tongue, whatis you opinion on this? Because surely we mu all learn Arabic for the purpose of understanding the Quran, Hadith and lectures but should we neglect our languages subsequently loosing our culture which everyone is entitled to?<br /><br />So does a scenario like what I just mentioned lead to the arabization of people instead of the Islamisation of people from different cultures practicing Islam?<br /><br />You are fluent in read and writing Somali but have 5-6 blogs in English...........lol, I think it time to open a new account........<br /><br />There are a few typos in my comment like when I said running to Somalia I was ment to say returning.......never write a blog on an iPad Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
