Introduction The Enghsh phrases m thIS book are grouped by subject and have been

selected for theIr duectness, breVIty, and relevance to the needs of newly

amved reSIdents of the Dmted States They are, for the most part, presented

m the fOIm of short, two-hne dtalogues

The phrases and supplementary vocabulary m the 19 umts cover a WIde

range of SItuatIOns and serve to mtroduce new reSIdents to the dally

actIVItIes of Amencan hfe The underhned words and expressIOns are those

whIch accomphsh the most Important language functIOns of the umt The

two wordhsts prOVIde telIl1S whIch are frequently needed

As WIth all phrasebooks, thIS one IS not mtended as a step-by-step

textbook for learnmg Enghsh It IS Intended as a handy reference book for

mUllediate use when Enghsh words or phrases are needed

ThIS phrasebook IS largely an adaptatIon of the Vtetnamese-Engltsh

Phrasebook (Center for Appbed LmguiStiCS, 1975) by Nguyen Hy Quang

It IS based on needs whIch are common to VIrtually all refugee groups ThIS I

edItion for refugees from Somaha has been adapted and translated by

Hussem Ahmed and Sulekha Omar WIth the editonaI aSSIstance of Asha

Gelle Alt, Abdullahl Sh Mohamud Duale, Manam Osman EgaI,

Abduahlm A HaJI, Mohamed IsmaIl Muse, Ah Yusuf Omar and Amoud

OmarYusuf

Translators' Note For conSIstency throughout the phrasebook, we have chosen the

regIOnal pronunCIatIon of the northern regIOn m most cases For example,

the word qumman IS spelled WIth "mm" mstead of "m", and ttgtdhka IS

spelled WIth "dh" mstead of "t" (ttgtlka) as It IS pronounced 1D some

regIOns Consldenng the fact that there are regIOnal dIfferences In Somah

words and pronunCIatIOn, we have also tned to Include as many dlstmctly

dIfferent words from other regIOns as pOSSIble (e g duwaan and qaamuus, \

bun, kaaji, and qaxwe)

EDITOR'S NOTE: ThIS phrasebook IS desIgned to serve as a hngUIstic bndge for

newcomers from Somaha resetthng 10 the UnIted States WhIle

developmg thIS book, we faced dIffIculties caused by the relatIve

newness of the scnpt10g of the SomalI language and the dIsruptIOn 10

Somah hngUIStiC development due to the decade-long CIvIl war 10

Somaha The Somah language was only an oral language until 1972

when a formal scnpt, us10g the Roman alphabet, was adopted The

Academy of SCIences and Arts at the Somah NatIOnal UnIVersIty, whIch

was responsIble for the standardIzatIOn of the SomalI language, was

closed down m 1990 and has not been operat1Og smce that time

Two major dIffIculties arose agree10g upon standard spellmgs and

handhng regIOnal dIfferences for many words Although nearly everyone

translat10g and revIewmg the book studIed at a unIversity level m

Somaha, agreement could not always be reached on spelhng Even m

Somaha, spelhng errors are common m offiCIal documents and news

pubhcatIons Therefore, the translators made the final declSlon on

spelhng Issues (see IntroductIOn Note)

WIth regard to regIOnal dIfferences, we had the phrasebook revIewed

by 10dlvlduals representmg vanous regIOns and ethmc groups of Somaha

We pnmanly focused on dIfferences between the north and the south, but

also notIced some urban and rural mstmctIOns In our final edlt1Og, we

attempted to mclude some alternative word chOices when appropnate for

understand10g In thIS way, we hope to make thIS phrasebook useful to a

WIde range of people

Whlle measures were taken to be as mclusive as possIble, we know

that there may be OffilSSIOns or dIfferences of op1OIOn We ask the readers

to remember that the purpose of thIS project IS to access the Enghsh

language and not to cause hngUlStIC controversy We hope you WIll find It

useful as you adjust to your new hfe 10 the Umted States
