MOGADISHU, Somalia – The National Communications Authority (NCA), in collaboration with the Academy of Science, Culture, and Literature and the Regional Somali Language Academy (AGA), has launched the Somali Cybersecurity Terminology Glossary, marking a significant milestone in standardizing Somali-language technical terms for the digital age.

The event, held at the Regional Somali Language Academy in Mogadishu, brought together government officials, academics, language experts, technology specialists, and other distinguished guests to unveil the new resource.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Abdifitah Ahmed Abukar (Foodcade), acting director general of the Academy of Science, Culture, and Literature, emphasized the critical need for the Somali language to evolve alongside technological progress.

“Language is the home of knowledge. If our language does not evolve alongside scientific and technological advancements, it becomes difficult for society to fully benefit from emerging opportunities,” Mr. Abukar said. “This terminology initiative forms part of wider efforts to strengthen the Somali language, improve public services, and enhance public awareness.”
