Asalamu alaykum wrwb.
sister: Walaal (if u wanna say my sister, you say "walaashay")
brother: walaal 9 if u wanna say my brother you say "walaalkay")
the language is somali. and as the sister said you can say abayow or abowe depending on the region you grew up in somalia.

This is surely interesting..so many diverse backgrounds mashallah...

I'm the boring one amongst you..I speak Arabic..so all I have is *akhi* and *ukhti*..*sigh*

I wish I still remembered the Kurdish I learned when I was little so I would've shared the words with you all..but unfortunately I forgot it due to my rarely speaking it :(

But I know the words in Maltese so I'll share them (too long of a story to tell you how I learned them lol)

Brother ---> Hu
Sister ---> Oht


The word Oht is almost EXACTLY like the word for *sister* in Arabic which is Ukht/Okht (depending on how you latinize it)..which makes sense since 40% of the Maltese language is Arabic..Arabic speakers would not find a problem communicating there seriously! :)..sooo..that was my little trivia along with my life story for the day..lol..and now I will say my salams and leave the thread..ehm!

:wasalam:

Asalamu alaykum wrwb. Shame shame shame on you ukhti! lol. you know how hard i try speaking arabic...and this is how you treat it in your mind. if i could speak only arabic and forget all the other languages i would gladly do so, but Alhamdulillah i'm gonna learn it, even if it takes me a lifetime. and you consider that boring!!!! if i could speak arabic i would speak it probably every second of my life. lol. hey call me crazy but i love the arabic language. oh how i wish i could speak it! say Alhamdulillah young lady. ana qataliki anti ya ukhtil 3aziza. lol.:) i love you, asalamu alaykum wrwb. wow, i lecture don't i. :)
