Somalis have lived in the Horn of Africa for thousands of years. Today they number about six million people. As well as inhabiting the area known generally since 1960 as the Somali Republic, they also live in adjacent areas in Djibouti, the Ogaden area of Ethiopia and in northern Kenya. This is because traditional clan homelands pre-date modern day national borders. This factor has been a constant cause of conflict between Somalia and its neighbours right up to the present time. From time immemorial Somalis have been a nomadic people, migrating with their livestock, according to the season, in search of water and pasture. Nomads do not travel aimlessly, they follow traditional seasonal patterns of migration within as identifiable given location. They know the times when rain is expected, and know which areas are likely to have grass when other places have dried up. They travel in groups made up of the extended family. These family groupings are based on kinship relations of the adult male members. A father, his adult sons and their families will commonly constitute the nomadic family group, called the reer. It may also include other adult males related to the father, and their dependents. In times of plenty many members of the extended family will stay together; during the dry season and in times of drought the group will split up into smaller units and become more scattered.

Since the final collapse of Somalia's repressive regime in 1991, Somalia has presented the world not only with the most profound case of state collapse witnessed in modern times but also with one of the most intriguing cases of political fragmentation, armed conflicts, lawlessness and statelessness. Inevitably the last 20 years of statelessness and chaos has left the Somali economy destitute and made Somalia to be ranked among the five poorest 'countries' in the world. Contributors to this volume examine efforts at reconstituting the failed Somali state and the role of the Somali Diaspora and civil society groups in the processes. They also analyse how the Somali Diaspora and civil society in Somalia engage and cooperate to further processes of state-reconstitution in Somalia as well as help the Somali Diaspora adjust in their host nations.

Somali is spoken by more than nine million people in the Horn of Africa and by expatriate communities in the Middle East, Europe and North America. It is the official language of Somalia and an important regional language in Ethiopia and Kenya. As a Cushitic language Somali is part of the great Afroasiatic language family whose other branches include Semitic, Berber, Chadic and Ancient Egyptian. This book provides a comprehensive description of the grammar of the language that will be of interest to non-specialists and linguists interested in typology and language comparison. The author's accessible investigation of the phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse structure allows the reader a clear view of the linguistic character of Somali and, through Somali, of a Cushitic language. A further important feature of the book is its use of authentic data from a range of sources, including prose, poetry and proverbs.
