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

[Hue_Man]

Somalia is in sub Saharan Africa so of course the dominant skin complexion is gonna be these guys.

 

[Yukon_Niner]

Can confirm,
I have "almond" shaped eyes with long eyelashes and thick eyebrows.

(Isaaq origins)

I have those too and I've seen it all over Somalia

 

[Ciidagaleloos]

No lie I saw a doppelganger from a different clan at a mosque, it was surreal lol. These dudes are tripping, most Isaaq I see are in the middle range of skin tone, some lighter and some darker, same with other clans, across the spectrum most Somalis look the same

So what's this cat eyes Almond eye stereotype, Arab bs i'm seeing bruh lmaooo

You know what? i kinda see the Almond unique eyeshape eyelashes thing that makes Isaaqs look Isaaq looool, whoever that Hibaq chick is, lowkey she's right

 

[Hue_Man]

is the Djibouti president Isaaq?

I don’t think so he’s one of the dir tribes

 

[4head]

Guelleh looks so autistic. It bothers me

 

[Vanessa]

We all look the same. I'm from mudug and I have small almond shaped eyes.

Bro the only "Isaaq origins" is being tall and having long johnsons.

 

[xoxoboredgirl]

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.

facts, us somalis literally have the same genes and access to all the same features

 

[__08]

I can sometimes tell with people from south Somalia. A lot have a particular shade of dark skin, almost Nilotic like and wavy soft hair

Lol no. We all have a common forefather unless some of you guys are mixed. Idk....

 

[Juliet]

This is the kind of look I'm talking about when I was talking about Isaaqs

I know this phenotype is common with all clans (I have a similar look as a Darood for instance), but Isaaq people seem to have it at the highest frequencies.

 

[Macalin dheerow]

This is Somalilands army man, furthest away from bantus and every excuse people of sspot got

Us dhuxuls taking over kkkkk

 

[Ozark]

I know mostly of the Northern Somali clans.

Isaaqs such HA have lots of light skin people. Dhulbahante such as the Naleyah Ahmed’s are light people as well for the most part. How does this light skin play a role? Well HA and Dhulbahantes had few people that stumped me in thinking there not Somali, same as the Cad Cads.

But the vast majority of Somalis (95%) look the same.

I know exactly what you mean.

 

[celidheere]

You can tell OGs and Hawiye easily

 

[celidheere]

Mo Farah/Afc Sharky is a typical Isaaq skin colour/face, extremely typical, Chunkz phenotype isn't that common, i've seen Abgaals that look like him

I look like Chunkz but I'm MX, I wonder where that look comes from. The chubby lightskin Somali phenotype

 

[Juliet]

Yeah, all the big social media landers are lightskin or close like this guy and Chunkz skewing the view kkk. Somalis forgetting SL is in subsaharan africa, they thinking the camel herder whos in the sun all the time is a lightskin timo jileec like in facebook kkkk

I get the people back home not being very light- skin due to the heat of the place, but do you think we pulled timo jileec out of our asses just because we live in the diaspora? We inherited it from them (ancestors who lived back home)
