The Development of Somali as a National Medium of Education and Literature
In common with other peoples of Africa, the Somalis have a rich cultural heritage of their own, which in their case culminates in its verbal expression. As far back as the memory of their oral tradition can reach they have had an extensive and lively oral literature which not only preserves old poems and prose narratives but provides a running commentary on current events, which it has often influenced. Somali oral literature has attracted both S…

Modern and traditional aspects of Somali drama
1In the Somali urban environment, one of the main sources of entertainment is the theatre. It began, one might conjecture, in response to the stimulus of social change in the mid-1940s (Johnson 197
The role of poetic tradition in the modernisation of the Somali language
1It may seem paradoxical but to understand what has happened to the Somali language in the last six years we have to take into account the long tradition of alliterative oral poetry which pervades
The rise of written Somali literature
1Written literature in Somali is of comparatively recent origin, since Somali had no official orthography until 21 October 1972. Various systems of writing had been used by individuals or small gro

A Genealogical Note Relevant To The Dating Of Sheikh Hussein Of Bale
Although a substantial amount of information is available about Sheikh Hussein of Bale,1 even an approximate dating of his life has so far presented considerable difficulties. An important clue is provided by the genealogy of Sayyid Mahdi [′mæhdi] 2 of Merca in Anonymous 1927, discussed in Ceriilli, 1938, 20-1.3 This genealogy gives 25 intermediate ancestors between Sheikh Hussein and Sayyid Mahdi, but does not indicate when the latter lived

The Categories of Number in Noun forms in the Borana Dialect of Galla
IntroductionThe aim of this article is to give a brief account of certain inflexional features in Borana Nouns, which may throw light on similar characteristics in other dialects of Galla.The inflexional features under discussion are those set out in the lists in Section II of this article. These features are not described in formal terms, as I have found that, in this case, a formal approach leads to a confused and unsatisfactory statement. Inst…
The Problem Of Vowel Representation In The Isaaq Dialect Of Somali
IN representing the vowels of the Isaaq dialect of Somali2 we meet with many difficulties not only because of a large number of vowel distinctions but also on account of the operation of Vowel Harmony. I use the term Vowel Harmony in the same sense as Armstrong,3 i.e. as the harmony (or 'matching') of vowels belonging to the same series. Schleicher,4 Reinisch,5 and Abraham6 use this term quite differently, meaning by it certain types of assimilat…

Some Preliminary Observations on the Borana Dialect of Galla
The only publications in this dialect1 of the Galla language are translations of the Gospels of St. Luke2 and St. John3 and the Acts of the Apostles.4 The orthography used in these texts, obviously, has practical aims in view and dispenses with much of the phonetic detail which would be of interest to a linguist. As far as I know, there are no published works which would give a description of this dialect. The grammars of Borello,5 Hodson and Wal…

Accentual Patterns in Verbal Forms in the Isaaq Dialect of Somali
Lilias E. Aemsteong in her article 'The phonetic structure of Somali' has shown that there is a correlation in this dialect of Somali between tone patterns and grammatical gender in certain types of Nouns. Moreover, at many points in her article she implies by her tone markings that there is also a correlation between other grammatical categories and tone patterns. She states, for example, that 'plurals of both masculine and feminine nouns are pr…
