📍The Somali people

The Somali people are a Cush*tic ethnic group native to the Horn of Africa who share a common ancestry, culture and history.

The East Cush*tic Somali language is the shared mother tongue of ethnic Somalis, which is part of the Cush*tic branch of the Afroasiatic language family, and they are predominantly Sunni Muslim.

Forming one of the largest ethnic groups on the continent, they cover one of the most expansive landmasses by a single ethnic group in Africa.

According to most scholars, the ancient Land of Punt and its native inhabitants formed part of the ethnogenesis of the Somali people. This ancient historical kingdom is where a great portion of their cultural traditions and ancestry are said to derive from.

Somalis share many historical and cultural traits with other Cush*tic peoples, especially with Lowland East Cush*tic people, specifically the Afar and the Saho.

Ethnic Somalis are principally concentrated in Somalia (around 17.6 million), Somaliland (5.7 million),Ethiopia (4.6 million),Kenya (2.8 million),and Djibouti (534,000).

Somali diasporas are also found in parts of the Middle East, North America, Western Europe, African Great Lakes region, Southern Africa and Oceania.
