Shire Jama Ahmed

Shire Jaamac Axmed is credited by most Western writers as the linguist who devised a unique Latin script for the Somali language. He belonged to the Mareexaan branch of the Daarood Somali clan. Shire Jaamac Axmed was also one of the first presidents of the Somali National Academy of Culture, and founder of the first Somali national magazine, "The Light of Knowledge and Education". In addition, he was an alumnus of the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo. [David D.
