First comments[edit]

Just on a quick note: the second sentence in "History" (The Cushitic speaking ethnic groups were divided into the Northern Cushites (Beja), the Central Cushites (Agaw) and the Eastern Cushites which includes many ethnic groups such as the Oromo, Somali, Afar amongst others) lists present-day peoples, which is an anachronism. Better add something like "contemporary descendants include", or "the ancestral group of the modern X, Y, Z etc."; otherwise, you mix time levels separated by several millenia. –Austronesier (talk) 20:40, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Somalis, Somalia[edit]

2.26.151.114 @Cookiemonster1618: You two have had a bit of a back & forth on whether or not to include a sentence on the name of Somalia. Maybe the Talk page is the place any discussion should continue. Pathawi (talk) 20:13, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The User's addition of that information should best be placed in the Somalia Wikipedia article and not here since this article is only discussing the Cushitic speaking ethnic groups and not Somalia or the Somali people as a whole. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 20:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about Cushitic ethnic groups and Somalia is the only country in Africa named after a Cushitic ethnic group. 2.26.151.114 (talk) 03:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should add that information to the Somalia Wikipedia page because this Wikipedia page is about Cushitic speaking ethnic groups and the history of the Cushitic peoples not about one Cushitic speaking ethnic group or the origin of the word Somali.

The two of you are effectively edit-warring. Please hash this out here without making further edits. Pathawi (talk) 03:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
