You know what other language shares vocabulary with Arabic? Amharic. But nobody is accusing them of stealing words. Because they didn’t. They’re closely related languages based on 3-consonant radicals. The same radicals have very similar meanings in all of them. Because they’re Semitic.

I don’t even think they’re actual Amharic letters, they look like a caricature or mishmash of random symbols. Just for public education purposes: Somali is generally written using the Latin alphabet, like English.

The ALT text clarifies that it’s the mayor of Minneapolis supposedly speaking Somali, but those aren’t Somali words, they look like maybe a random string of Amharic characters? Because DHS is too racist to realize there’s more than one language in Africa

I crossed paths with some older ladies on a walk through the neighborhood and we started chatting. I spoke to them completely in Amharic to work on my skills.
At one point, feeling self-conscious, I told them I'm still learning Amharic. One of them immediately said "we can tell by your accent."
