Funny that you mention that, it's very true that a lot of Somali Youths in Canada barely speak Somali, if they do speak it at all, however, they are very conscious of where they come from and some of the struggles that they're homeland faces.
As for your comment Seven, I highly doubt that Somali's in the West would become anything like those "Italians" Americans, even if they were to loose their language, the connection back home is too strong. The financials support sent to Somalia from almost every Somali family is a substantial amount, they really do care about the situation back home. Unlike the Italiens who gloat about their ancestry as if it had anything glorious about, while knowing very little of it's past, present or future.
