When referring to a person, the term is a proper noun and should always be capitalized. It functions as a demonym, identifying an individual's national or ethnic origin. In this sense, it is a countable noun.
When referring to the language, the word is an uncountable proper noun. It follows the standard pattern for languages where it cannot be pluralized (e.g., one does not say "Somalis" to refer to multiple dialects of the language).
As an adjective, it describes anything pertaining to the region, culture, or people of Somalia. In this role, it modifies nouns and does not take plural or comparative forms.
