How this list is made
Open Library works and Internet Archive items found by subject searches on Somalia, Somalis and the Somali language, plus Wikidata works in Somali. Records with the same normalised title are merged. Year is the first year the catalogue gives. Some records reach the list through a Somali subject heading or a Somali translation. The whole list, with every region or letter, is on Bibliography: books and writing on Somalis and Somalia. We copy the sources and do not change what they say; see how we source.
