External links:

At the Somali Wikipedia there is an article about the Somali national flag and an article about "flag". There is also a separate article/page with the Somalian flag law. These include three declinations (?) of the word: "calan", "calanka" (ergative?), and "calankiinna" (genitive?). These also be spelled in Osmanya, Latin, Arabic, and Borama scripts, although only Latin is in current use.
