It is comparable, as I've explained bajunis are from bajuni coast and archipelago meanwhile banadiris are from banaadir coast. They don't view themselves as an ethnic group obviously, there's Arab Bajuni tribes, Persian Bajuni tribes, Cushitic Bajuni tribes and Bantu Bajuni tribes.
Language isn't relevant, I'm talking about the identity
You're waffling on the spot, majority identify by banaadiri like wise majority bajunis identify by bajuni . That's not relevant, barawa is just one town not a whole coast
It's not comparable. As I said, while Bajunis do have different origins, they unite behind the Bajuuni label. While 'Banaadiris' also have foreign background, but instead unite behind the area they live in. Such as Barawaani or reer Xamar. But according to you, because it had a historical name to the area, that's per automatic their identity, kkk. You try as hard as you want, but Banaadiri and Bajuuni will not be viewed as the same.
All the real inhabitants from prior to colonization are referred to as banadiri from xamar to barawa including the towns in-between, I didn't say it's an ethnic group and it is a regional identity as I've already explained
It's not a confederacy, confederacy are like the confederacies of xamar like bandhawow, moorsho or confederacies of barawa like biida which have had different people included over the centuries which is natural . There's been families that moved from interior and joined confederacies as late as less than one hundred years ago.
That's what I implied. Joining your confederacy, as in one of the different existing confederacies, that then formed the identities of the people.
Since ethnic Somali were majority in Kismaayo, how come there weren't called Banaadiri?
The reer samaale's on the coast are all banadiri from the ones in xamarweyne and shingaani, saraha ,jilib marka, barawa
It's always had the same meaning, Italians changing it or the government after independence is irrelevant.
Say either ethnic Somalis or the specific clans you're talking about. The Banaadiri region is inhabited by all types of ethnic Somalis.
I'm talking about national identity
It was irrelevant to the context. As
@Angelina said, the only reason you're talking about national identity is to change the goalpost, after disputing the Somali ethnicity and no one having brought it up.
The reer samaale's in Kenya are Kenyan nationals they're equally as Kenyan as Arab tribes in Kenya, likewise Reer samaale's in Ethiopia are equally as Ethiopian as any other. Are the native Madows along shabelle in DDS now "ethnic somali" with that flawed logic?
Please act a little bit more daft. Because you have a hard time comprehending what I wrote.
Is Ethiopia named after an ethnic group? Is Kenya named after an ethnic group? It's not the same as in Somalia, as you can be a Somali ethnic and/or national. Meanwhile, you can be Ethiopian/Kenyan + your ethnic identity.
This is what I said. Let me interpret it for your slow brain. If ethnic Somalis were not *majority* in Somalia, it wouldn't be named after ethnic Somalis. Are Madows majority in DDS or is it ethnic Somalis?
When did I talk about a national identity? Somali ethnicity =/= Somali nationality.
An ethnicity can exist without its national identity (such as Somalis in Kenya and Ethiopia), meanwhile the Somali national identity can't exist without its ethnic majority group (such as ethnic Somalis in Somalia).
The only tribe you know is Issaq. How can you expect me to name one Benadari clan or breakdown when you know nothing about Dir? Just give it a rest.
