Can you tell which region a Somali is from just by looking at them?

[wheel]

I can usually tell apart Isaaqs from other somalis, they have a distinctive look.
Rahanweyns often have a very distinctive look too.

 

[Hali]

Yes it’s quite obvious if you’ve been back home for some time. There’s little differences.

Nah, i dont mean in the mixed sense, they look somali but have their own look. I cant always tell ofc because bonafide somalis look so similar in general.

 

[codewebsduh]

Somalia had a population of 3 million in 1950, our whole race probably came into existence 1-2K years ago.

 

[digaagjecel]

There are no differences, it’s usually the weird qabilist nigga who think certain regions/clans have their own unique look.

 

[Aurelian]

But I think you can tell if a person is from the south or not especially nowadays

 

[xoxoboredgirl]

probably not

IDK how, but Isaaqs look pretty distinctive to other Somalis for me. They have these interesting looking almond shaped eyes

Tell me you're Darood without telling me you're Darood lol

 

[Ciidagaleloos]

Its like cat eyes - almond and slightly upturned with thick lashes. They look really nice ngl

Bro we all look exactly the same lol there is no Almond eyes bs etc lmao..

What do we Isaaq people look like that's different to say a Hawiye? .. waiting to hear these dumb things lool

 

[Giftxo]

Wait if Isaaqs look different because of their *supposed* Middle Eastern origins, doesn’t that make them less Somali then the rest?

because people assume isaaqs have more Arab dna compared then the rest (self-hate)

A Good reason to send them back. :D jk

 

[Psychologist]

it really depends, northern look little different than southern.

 

[zaffron]

Rahanweyn has a certain look, it's extremely subtle but it has something to do with the nose.

 

[KobeBryant]

Other then raxaweyne I can’t tell the difference

 

[Kant123]

Main difference is height, Ogaden and Northern darods like Dhulos are taller for some reason

I've met Somalis from all clans, we're practically the same. Instead of clans, I think the difference we're seeing is mostly anecdotal and stems from the families we tend to encounter, don't be surprised you have a doppelganger from a different region let alone a clan you're neighbouring.

Cap, you guys probably saw some assimilated families, Raxaweyne look just as Somali as the rest and their girls are in high demand now, a lot of guys in my city including some fam members are trying to cuff them.
