Somalian.

Why no interest in writing in your native language? You'd at least be less of a small fish in a big pond.

Not op, but no one reads on my country

>>24509962
What country?

>>24509501
NTA but I've been reading literature in English since I was a child and I am way more versed in the great works of the English language than those of my native tongue, which is contemporary and lacks the finesse and elegance I've managed to conquer in English over the years

My mother grabbed some beans
She put them in a cart
When she had finished eating
She ripped a great big fart
