Somali: Echo of the Horn of Africa

The Somali language, dominant in Somalia and parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti, is a reflection of the rich history and culture of the Horn of Africa. Key to the stories, songs and traditions of Somalia, learning Somali gives a unique insight into a region known for its poetic tradition and hospitality.

Through the language, one can also sense the resilience and pride of the Somali people, who have maintained their cultural identity despite numerous challenges.
