[edit] Name variations

There were three different articles about this clan, Sheikhaal, Sheikhal and Sheikhash. Of the three, Sheikhal seems to be the common spelling, at least in English, and so I've merged Sheikhaal to Sheikhal (Sheikhash and Sheikhal contained identical text.) I've also seen another spelling, Sheikal, commonly used. If it turns out that another spelling is viewed as correct for English usage, then let's go with that one, but please explain here rather than creating separate articles again. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

No mate I don disagree with you, you have done the right thing mate. this clan's name can be pronounce in defferent ways amongst Somali people so which ever one you choose is fine, for simpilicity I would choose "Sheikhaal" for English and "Sheekhaal" for native Somalis.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nassir49 (talk • contribs) 01:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
