Af Maay

I'm talking about who keeps the word af Somali? That's my issue here and to be fair and frank our two afaf have vast similarities in grammar and vocabulary so it's very difficult to label it a completely different language unless we make Somali a language group instead of a language which I think is the best solution.
I agree with you as long as you call it af not lahjad. Af translate to language which is my point here

I still consider it a dialect because it's not like Oromo which is a different language which neither of us could understand. When I hear af Maay I get the structure of the sentence and many of the words, I can't do this with Oromo or Afar. For me it's the same language but a lot of people from central and northern Somalia can't understand it at all.

Af doesn't translate into language it, lahjad is a borrowed term, people say 'af Waqooyi' etc

so Af Maay, Garre and Merka are their own language?
:what1:

Egypian, Maghreb and Yemeni are their own languages too according to your logic and not Arabic.
:ufdup:If you gave the Slander accent a few hundred years it would have been almost unintelligable like Af Maay. Quit your bullshit. Their accents/dialects are just older than the Darood one

Af doesn't necessarily translate to language, back in the days we had Af Gadabuursi Af Isaaq Af Issa Af Abgaal Af Ogaden etc. All part of the Somali language. Af meaning language or dialect, but now we replaced Af with Lahja of the Arabic to distinguish dialect.
 
I actually have their best interest in heart but you all undermining them and their language to protect your political and ethincal unity

May Allah cure you. How can it be a political tool when they're distinguished from one another by name? Af Maay is recognised in the constitution so miss me with your shisheeye opinions and your hateful b.s.

You're not from the South so no one cares what you think. No one said you have to understand it. Stay in your one clan one dialect regions.
Why do you still live in the colonial era like many isaac's? There's no such thing as north & south, you would find harti Settle in south too. Me personally I love Kismayo same way as I love Garoowe Ma garatey yareey. Isaac don't settle in the south so they don't care for it, it's quite on the contrary in Puntland I can assure you.

I think we should only have one language as the national language & that should be the one used most widely.

These people and qabiil acuubillahi always mentioning it where it doesn't belong.

And both dialects are in the constitution as the national language so qol isku xir and iska ooy.

Where you not the one saying previously that puntlanders should be banned from jubaland :ftw9nwa:

If you ban Southerners from PL then a like for like is not qabiilist. Most visas around the globe are reciprocal and that's the point I was making, only you and a few others decided to understand it differently.

Tell them sorry becouse they've been brainwashed by the kacan gov to belive their language is not uniqe but just an accent like the xamar and wogooyi

Not true in the slightest. Waqooyi and Xamar are considered the same dialect. Af Maay was never considered an accent and it's always beenseen as distinct from af maxaa tirri. Fail and a half.

You and a few other commentators on this board. Yet again proof that qabiil ate your soul.
I wasn't the one who said Somalis in one part of Somalia should be banned from going to another part of the same country. I'm not the one who divides us into north & south, I consider Somalis to be one. Who's the one you're referring to that qabyalad ate there soul? I suggest you look in the mirror miss f*ck north I'm from south lol
