Somali vowels: simple and umlauts

The Somali vowels are twenty: ten are simple and other ten are umlauts. the simple are represented in Latin writing as i e a o u ii ee aa oo uu. The umlauts are omitted.

If you look above at the twenty Somali vowels, ten of them are carrying two dots on them. These are the omitted

umlauts. Because of this omission the Somalis experience difficults in reading what they write. Therefore, we call the Somalis to write their language easily and accurately with their native alphabet.

Because of the Somali vowel harmony which governs a great deal of the grammatical rules, many of the grammatical rules of this language cannot be generated without using the governing vowel harmony.
