Somali Student Dictionary: English-Somali/ Somali-English

This comprehensive bilingual Somali dictionary includes over 25,000 Word-to-Word dictionary entries, and is approved for ESL/ELL students to use for standardized testing.

Somali is an Afroasiatic language with approximately 15 million speakers worldwide. It is spoken primarily in Somalia, but also in Somaliland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Kenya and by a significant Somali-speaking diaspora. Somali is written with the Latin alphabet.

The two-way format makes it useful for both English and Somali speakers. Somali ELL (English-Language Learner) students can look up the meaning of English words they don’t recognize, and also translate their thoughts and writing in Somali to English.
