Somali

Member of a group of East African peoples from the Horn of Africa. Although the majority of Somalis live in the Somali Republic, there are minorities in Ethiopia and Kenya. Primarily nomadic pastoralists and traders, they live in families, grouped in clans, under an elective or hereditary chieftain. They are mainly Sunni Muslims. Their Cushitic language belongs to the Hamitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family.
