The State of Somaliland used a composition written by local musicians and transcribed by British bandmaster R.A.Y.

Republic of Somaliland
The current anthem was written and composed by Hassan Sheikh Mumin,[5] a famous Somali playwright and composer. The anthem was adopted in 1997 and is sung in Somali.[6]
