Languages

There is no official census on language in Somaliland however we can safely say Somali is spoken by all of the native population. The article also states most people are bi lingual and also know English / Arabic - I find this highly unlikely especially in rural nomadic areas. As I am from the region and have visited for extended periods many times I am familiar with languages spoken. Unless there are figures to back this that can be sited I think to stay inline with Wikipedia rules this should be removed or reworded.

Great! Local knowledge can be helpful in interpreting sources (which you must also include for anything that is not just a typographical or other objective error). Just add another edit request, listing the exact changes you want, along with any supporting source information, and someone will review them and make the changes. I've also left some basic information for you about Wikipedia and how best to contribute to it on your talk page at this link. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 16:10, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
