I really think 70% of Somali Youth today can’t speak Somali

[Rayaale]

Language is passed from parents,every Somali household must have a rule of only speaking Somali at home and family gatherings

Djiboutian kids all speak Somali though.

Qabyaaladaa wuu so baxay, you are reer jabuuti. They are also hooyo mataalos, just like the rest of the diaspora.

I wish I was. I would have gotten away with a lot if I was. Unfortunately, I am Sheikhaal so there's no room for error/deviation in lifestyle.

Simply put somali parents didn’t realise what it would take to teach somali to their children. I am fortunate that my parents only spoke somali and I
replied back in somali.

Im certain that atleast 80% of hooyo mataalos could learn to speak somali if they were forced to do just that. Speak.
