Basic Somali: A Beginner's Language Course

The Somali language, known as Af-Soomaali, is a member of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It is the official language of Somalia and one of the national languages of Djibouti. Spoken by approximately 16 million people, Somali is also used by communities in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen. The language has its roots in the ancient Cushitic languages, with influences from Arabic due to historical trade and religious interactions.
