Abstract The Muslim Somalis of the Horn of Africa speak the Somali language and live primarily in Somalia. This file consists of 32 documents, 10 of which are translations from the original Italian, two from French, and one from German. They cover a time span from the 1600s to about the mid 1980s. The majority of these works concentrate on the nomadic Somali of the Djibouti region of southeastern Ethiopia in what is known (in 1996) as the Somali Democratic Republic, composed of the former protectorate of British Somaliland, the former Italian U.N. Trusteeship for Somali, and the French territory of the Afars and the Issas.
