History
The script was invented in 1952 by a Sufi Sheikh, named Hussein Sheikh Ahmed Kaddare.
The Somali Language Committee, tasked in 1961 with deciding on a script for the nation after independence, recommended the Kaddare script, but had to settle for the Latin alphabet due to economic constraints. They appraised Kaddare as being the most accurate indigenous script for transcribing the Somali language.[1]
