Musa Haji Ismail Galal ((ソマリ語:''Muuse Xaaji Ismaaciil Galaal''), (アラビア語:موسى الحاج اسماعيل جلال)) (1917–1980) was a Somali writer, scholar, linguist, historian and polymath. ==Biography== Galal was born in 1917 in Somalia. He is noted for having contributed to the development of Wadaad's writing. In the 1950s, Galal introduced a more radical alteration of the Arabic script to represent the Afro-Asiatic Somali language. He came up with an entirely new set of symbols for the Somali vowels. I.M. Lewis (1958) considers this to be the most accurate Arabic script to have been devised for the Somali language.〔Lewis, p.139-140〕 A prolific writer, Galal was also among the foremost authorities on the Somali astrological, meteorological and calendrical systems. He devoted two major works to traditional Somali science, both of which are regarded as classics in Somali Studies. After a long scholarly career, Galal died in 1980.〔 In his honour, the Somali Studies Association periodically presents the ''Musa Galaal Award'' to Somalists whose work on Somali history and culture has earned distinction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Musa Haji Ismail Galal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
