A living home for the Burji language & the people who carry it.
Built around Abdulkadir Dube Mohamed's Burji to English Language book. A place to read it, hear the words, and keep our history, culture and voices alive for the next generation.
“This book is to assist the Burji community here and abroad… so that we may preserve the language from the brink of extinction.”
Abdulkadir Dube Mohamed spent years researching and recording the Burji language word by word, so that a tongue carried for generations in memory and song would also live on the page. This platform carries his work forward.
