This page contains some hard-to-find Somali curriculum text books. The Somali language was written in 1972 and the Revolutionary government of President Mohamed Siyad Barre invested enormous time, energy and resources to formalize the Somali language, harmonize technical vocabulary and make education accessible to the Somali public in their own Somali language. As a result of this effort, Somali became one of the most developed African languages in the 1970s and 80s with students studying Somali up to the university level. However, since the fall of the central government of Somalia in 1991, the Somali language lost its momentum due to lack of any meaningful research and development.

We need your help to make this list more complete. If you find any of these texts useful or if there are other books that you may be interested in, please let us know by contacting Professor Jibril Sheikh Ali Aw Mohamed at mohamed.196@osu.edu.
