(Hadalsame) 13 July 2019<\/strong><\/span> – I will try to explain the history of the somali people from a chronological prespective, starting from before 22,000 bc and ending 800bc.<\/p>\n

22,400 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-M35 :<\/p>\n

\n

\"somali<\/a><\/p>\n

somali origins E-M35<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The modern population of E-M215 and E-M35 lineages are almost identical, and therefore by definition age estimates based on these two populations are also identical. E1b1b (E-M215) and its dominant sub-clade E1b1b1 (E-M35) are believed to have first appeared in\u00a0East Africa<\/a>\u00a0about 22,400 years ago.\u00a0All major sub-branches of E1b1b1 are thought to have originated in the same general area as the parent clade: in\u00a0North Africa<\/a>,\u00a0East Africa<\/a>, or nearby areas of the\u00a0Near East<\/a>. Some branches of E1b1b1 left Africa many thousands of years ago. For example\u00a0Battaglia et al. (2007<\/a>) estimated that E-M78 (\u201cE1b1b1a1\u201d in that paper) has been alone in Europe longer than 10,000 years. And more recently, human remains excavated in a Spanish funeral cave dating from approximately 7000 years ago were shown to be in this haplogroup.[10]<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

15,000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-M78,<\/p>\n

\n

\"e-m78<\/a>e-m78 distribution origins of somali<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is believed M78 \u00a0most likely originated in what is today north sudan and upper egypt, closely linked to human habitation around lake nubia.\u00a0The M78 mutation has been estimated to have occurred up to 18,600 years ago (17,300\u201320,000 years ago).<\/p>\n

10,000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proto-afroasiatic origins date from around 10,000 BC around the\u00a0Sudanese\u00a0Savannah, due to the sahara being much wetter than today.\u00a0 It seems to have been the main language for the cultures around the nile area at this period.<\/p>\n

8,000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

This marks the end of the ice age, as the world gets warmer and the sea-levels rise, a mass migration out of the sahara creates \u00a0a major split between the afro-asiactic family. It devides between North and South afro-asiatic languages. Somali is in this southern branch.<\/p>\n

6,000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

E-V32<\/p>\n

Cruciani et al. (2007<\/a>) suggest that this sub-clade of E-V12 originated in\u00a0North Africa<\/a>\u00a0, and then subsequently expanded further south into the\u00a0Horn of Africa<\/a>, where it is now prevalent.[Note 8]<\/a><\/sup>Before the discovery of V32,\u00a0Cruciani et al. (2004<\/a>) referred to the same lineages as the \u201cgamma cluster\u201d, which was estimated to have arisen about 8,500 years ago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This marker suggests the first proto-cushitic languages were in this push southwards towards east africa.<\/p>\n

\"e-v32<\/a><\/p>\n

4,000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this date the\u00a0Somali\u00a0language has\u00a0separated\u00a0from other cushitic languages such as oromo, the evidence is the number of different sub-languages originating from the oromo and\u00a0Somali\u00a0branches of the afro-asiactic languages in comparison with semetic (which has a later origin). \u00a0Even today some oromo languages and\u00a0Somali\u00a0remain\u00a0unintelligible\u00a0to within the group.<\/p>\n

A popular misconceptions about the\u00a0Somali\u00a0origin, are that somalis are a mixture between arabs and other africans. Also further\u00a0perpetuated by the fact several other east african populations speak semtetic languages, and so give the impression that somalis are also another group of semetic africans. \u00a0This is clearly not the case, as somali predates both semetic and ge\u2019ez languages, as i will show below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3,7000 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Development of semitic languages happen at 3700 BC, with people from the J haplogroup adopting and being influenced by the african languges around the\u00a0Nile\u00a0delta, a language shift<\/a>\u00a0occurred. Similar to modern pidgin languages.<\/p>\n

800 BC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the fall of d\u2019mt a colony of the Sabaean\u00a0empire, the african population \u00a0in that region started to develop little kingdoms vying for power while using a semetic language to run official business. This is what produced the rapid diversification that led to the\u00a0numerous\u00a0 semetic languages in East Africa, such as the ge\u2019ez language.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this article i tried to show the development of the\u00a0Somali\u00a0people into what and where they are today. While it is true that\u00a0Somalis\u00a0have loaned words from arabic, english and italian it does not mean\u00a0Somalis\u00a0are therefore arabic italians and english who have settled in somalia and mixed with the local african population.<\/p>\n

This is an unscientific\u00a0explanation\u00a0. All evidence points to the fact that somalis are an ancient people who have inhabited the region known as the somali peninsula for atleast 9000 years and that \u00a0Somali\u00a0unlike ethiosemitic languages is a very old language, even older than proto-semetic (as shown in the last two dates). As somalis we should be proud of our heritage and not forget this wonderful language and the history of the people who made us.<\/p>\n
