[edit] Somanglish

Somanglish (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable neologism, a portmanteau of Somali and English. No coverage in third party sources. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 14:03, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - according to my 7 Ghits, it seems to be even a protologism, unlike Spanglish.--Tikiwont 15:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - doesn't seem to have any notability. Bart133 (t) (c) 16:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not only non-notable, but non-interesting article. Some examples of "Somanglish", if such a hybrid has wide usage, would be welcome. For guidance, see Franglais or Spanglish. Question: Is there a German-English mixed language? Seems like ein natural. Mandsford 22:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • If this is a real phenomenon with sourced information, this would be a notable topic. However, "Somanglish" appears to be a neologism that is not yet in use. The only non-Wikipedia Ghit I got is http://www.islamicboard.com/misc-language/25182-somali-riddles-here-10.html -- a forum thread from 2006 that appears to be in a mixture of the English and Somali languages, but uses the word "Somanglish" only once. On http://yonko.livejournal.com/ I found a mention of "Somali-English pidgins," but no hint that these pidgins have been given a name. Merge a sentence or two from this article into Somali language and delete the rest.--orlady 22:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unsourced made-up neologism. 9 ghits, 0 sources, article doesn't even contain any relevant information. Melsaran 12:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
