Salaam Namaste Af Somali ((top))

"Salaam Namaste" waa ereyo isugu jira salaamo dhaqameed oo ka kala yimid bulshooyin kala duwan, kuwaas oo si ballaaran looga yaqaano caalamka, gaar ahaan markii ay noqdeen magaca mid ka mid ah filimadii ugu caansanaa ee Bollywood-ka ee soo baxay sanadkii 2005.

1. Intent matters in Islam. Somali scholars often note that Namaste has no shirk (polytheism) in its current Somali usage. They are not bowing to a god; they are simply saying "hello."
2. Linguistic evolution. The word has been divorced from its Sanskrit origin. Just as English speakers say "Goodbye" (which originated from "God be with you") without thinking of God, Somalis say Namaste without thinking of Hinduism.
3. Shared history. The Indian Ocean trade network connected Somalia and India for centuries. Somali merchants traded frankincense and myrrh for Indian spices and cloth. The greeting is a testament to that ancient friendship.
