How well can you speak somali?

[Gambit]

I can read but with difficulty, I could write too but I'd be spelling everything phonetically

 

[Zuleikha]

Am I in the FOB category for speaking perfect somali? I speak, read and write somali perfectly.

If you speak to the point that you mix up P's with B's then you are a fob, If not you're straight.

 

[yas/London]

I understand everything.

Si fiican aa ugu hadli karaa, akhrin karaa iyo qoraalkeeygane ma xuma.

I must say the results of the poll doesn't reflect the evidence on the forum. Most of us are more comfortable writing and communicating in English instead of afkeena hooyo.

Most of them are scared of hooyo.

I speak in a broken Shanshiyo accent but I'm able to have a basic conversation. I can write it better than I can speak it (don't ask me how).

Shanshiyo are one tribe, they have subclans, they are all of Persian origin besides one sub clan of the Shanshiyo who are Arabs. Shanshiyo are a xamar cadcad tribe. My tribe is called Hatimi (an Arab tribe) and we are a xamar cadcad too. The tribes in Xamar and Baraawa are mixed. For example you would find a Hatimi in Xamar and in Barawa too. The tribes have different origins, most are Persian, some Indians, some Arab, etc. I would say all Xamar cadcads and Barawaanis are around 100,000 in number, worldwide. Very few remain in Somalia though, over 90% left.

“Abdi Mamow estimated that 90% of the Rer Hamar population in Mogadishu have left the city as a consequence of civil war and lack of security for this group. The majority of Rer Hamar who are still in Mogadishu are older people who live in Mogadishu’s traditional Rer Hamar district; Hamar Weyn. However, Hamar Weyn is not controlled by the Rer Hamar but by militias of the Habr Gedir sub-clan Suleiman. Wolken had no information concerning the number of Rer Hamar still living in Mogadishu but according to two Tunni businessmen from Mogadishu, Abdulrazak Omar Nurein Scego and Omar Jailani Sheikh perhaps 2,000 persons of the Rer Hamar were still living in Mogadishu.” (Danish Immigration Service (17 March 2004) Human rights and security in central and southern Somalia, p.39)
