My Summary

I learned that there is many different ways of speaking Somalian. There are 13 ways of speaking that language. But there are also many different countries that are mixed with the language , such as Arabic, French,  Swahili, and many more. Somalia is  a country in Africa and it has a special name which is, the horn of Africa. Africa has many different languages spoken there. 

My research plan

Im planing on using google to find out more about my project. Im also interviewing other students about my question which is "Is it easy to lose the language Somalian since you now know more than one language now"?

My research question.

What kind of languages are spoken an Somalia?
Arabic, Standard-Boni-Boon-Dabarre-English-Garre-Jiddu-Maay-Mushungulu-oromo,Boranan-Arsi-Guji-Somalia-Swahili-Tunni


There are 13 different languages spoken in Somalia.

My Research Goals

What do you want to know more about?Why?

. Does every country in Africa have a different language other than English spoken there? The reason i want to know this is because there are a lot of people that I know that speak more than at least 4 different languages. Most of these languages are teached to them when they visit another country (especially country's in Africa). For ex: i from somalia and the next two states next to us speak to different languages (Kenya and Ethiopia).
