Welcome

Af May-May is spoken by the Somali Bantu in Jilib and Jamaame districts of southern Somalia, and by the many Somali Bantu who have migrated from those areas to neighboring countries and around the world.

This project is working on putting May-May into writing and creating literacy materials and books in May-May. You can learn more about the May-May alphabet we developed on The May-May Alphabet website at the top of this page. You can also find some of the books we've created on the May-May Books website at the top of this page.

If you speak May-May and are interested in our project, we would like to hear from you. We could help you learn how to read and write May-May and how to create your own books! And you could help us test our books and make them better. Please contact us by email at afmaymay@gmail.com and send us your thoughts and ideas.
