Both are authentic standard Somali words. Anyone with little bit of Somali can understand all them. It is self evident.

My parents are from different provinces (my father is from the North) so as a child I always grew up hearing both, which confused as to why the somali language has two names for one word. For a homogeneous society it always seemed weird why we have such distinct dialect.

Somalia iyo somaliland waa labo eray oo taariikh wayn ku leh geeska afrika. Dad badan oo soomaali ah aad ayay u garanayaan waxaa loola jeedo marka ay dhagahooda ku soo dhacday magacyadan. Laakiin ma taqaanaanaan macnahooda ?

Labaduba eray somalia iyo somaliland waxay iskaga mid yihiin horkabaha “soomaali” oo loola jeeda isku macne.

Waxay ku kala duwanyihiin dibkabaha “land” iyo “ia”. Labadan dibkabe ayaa iyaguna isku macne ah kana soo jeeda labo af oo kala duwan.

shaxdan hoose ayaa qeexi doonta.
