==Mayal/Makaahiil==
In 1932, ''Mahammad 'Abdi Makaahiil'' ({{lang-so|Maxamed Cabdi Makaahiil}}), a Somali scholar who studied at [[Al-Azhar University]], published a short book titled "Inšāʾ al makātibāt al ʿarabiyyah fīl-luġah as-Sūmāliyyah" ({{lang-ar|إنشاء المكاتبات العربية في اللغة الصوماليّة}}; ''Creating of Arabic correspondences in the Somali language'') in which he printed Somali orthographic conventions as well as several sample letters and many sample proverbs. He built upon earlier work by ''Ibraahim Cabdullaahi Mayal''. In this book, he also argues against those who at the time favored adopting Arabic language as the sole official language of Somalia, and he argued strongly for adopting Arabic Script for Somali language.<ref name="AhmadSheikh"/>
Makaahiil's proposed orthography uses the same letters as in Arabic, with only two additional letters, {{Script/Arabic|ڎ}} for /ɖ/ and  {{Script/Arabic|گ}} for /g/. On the other hand, there are 8 consonants in Arabic alphabet that do not exist in Somali language (except for writing Arabic loanwords), which include the letters thāʼ ({{lang|ar|ث}}), dhal ({{lang|ar|ذ}}), zāy ({{lang|ar|ز}}), ṣād ({{lang|ar|ص}}), ḍād ({{lang|ar|ض}}), ṭāʾ ({{lang|ar|ط}}), ẓāʾ ({{lang|ar|ظ}}), and ghayn ({{lang|ar|غ}}).
This writing convention relies on [[Arabic diacritics|vowel diacritics]].

As for vowels, in [[Somali phonology]], there are five vowel articulations. These vowel articulations can either be [[Vowel length|short or long]]. Each vowel also has a harmonic counterpart, expressed either at the front or at the back of the mouth. Somali words follow a [[vowel harmony]] rule. However, Somali orthography, neither [[Somali Latin alphabet]], nor Arabic alphabet, nor [[Osmanya alphabet]] distinguish between the two vowel harmony sets.
A shortcoming of the Arabic script for Somali language, is that while Somali has 5 vowels, Arabic has 3. This was where, Galaal got the most creative, coming up with brand new letters to represent vowels. In the 1961 Somali Language Committee Report, several other Arabic proposals were also listed, where other solutions were proposed for showing the 5 short vowels and 5 long vowels. None of these other proposals gained traction.<ref name="Qutbi1961">Qutbi, A. Sh. A. “The Report of the Somali Language Committee, 1961.” Internet Archive, May 15, 1961. [https://archive.org/details/LinguisticReport1961 https://archive.org/details/LinguisticReport1961].</ref>
In Mahammad 'Abdi Makaahiil's orthographic convention, he added two new diacritics. For short vowel sounds [a], [u], and [i], [[Arabic diacritics]] are used. For long vowel sounds [a:], [u:], and [i:], similar to Arabic, the letters ''alif'' (ا), ''wāw'' (و), and ''yāʾ'' (ي) respectively.
For the short vowel sound [e], Makaahil interpreted the sound to be in between [a] and [i], thus he proposed to combine "◌َ " (''Fatha'', [a]) and "◌ِ" and (''Dhamma'', [i]), and write "◌َِ". As for long vowel sound [e:], it'd be written as "◌َِ" followed by ''yāʾ'' (ي).<ref name="AhmadSheikh"/>

Vowels, when occurring at the beginning of words, are placed on top of ''alif'' (ا). Long vowels are written as they would in the middle of the word, except that ''wāw'' (و), and ''yāʾ'' (ي) would be preceded by ''alif'' instead of another consonant.The exception to this convention is long vowel [aa], where similar to Arabic, ''[[Arabic_diacritics#Maddah|alif madda]]'' (آ) is used.<ref name="AhmadSheikh"/>
