My Somali is a mix of Southern and Central.

That's a good mix. You avoid a lot of the loan words, since these are mostly from the north, and ur grammar should be on point from the Central Somali influence. Now if u stayed in a northern city for a few months like Burco or Ceerigaabo or Laascaanood you'd be a triple threat, cuz you'd have some heavy vocab and maahmaahyo to go along with it all.

Sxb @666 , this is my take on weaknesses and strengths of the Somali spoken by region

Southern Somali (Anything south of Galguduud, with some exceptions)

Weakness: Grammatically unsound. For example words are shortened by cutting off their endings, eg. 'waa cunaa' instead of 'waan cunayaa'. Also, some of the accents from this region are quite peculiar and can be difficult for an untrained ear.

Strength: Not too many loan words when compared to Northern Somali.

Northern Somali (Djibouti, Somaliland and most of Ogadenia)

Weakness: Too many loanwords from English and Arabic. Examples: Laydh- English (Somali term 'nal'), malqaacad-Arabic (Somali term 'qaado), gidaar-Arabic (somali word 'darbi), jaar-Arabic (somali term 'daris'), beed-Arabic (Somali term 'ukun'), milix- arabic (Somali word 'cusbo'). Another weakness is that in some parts of the north (not all) the waqooyi accent can get quite thick.

Strength: Though it's absorbed quite a few loanwords it's also done a remarkable job of preserving the old and very rich classical Somali vocabulary. That's why most of the renowned poets are from the north. Also, grammatically Northern Somali is excellent.

Central (Puntland, Mudug/Galguduud)

Weaknesses: No real weaknesses. It's is grammatically sound, does not have a lot of loanwords, the accent is pretty standard and readily understood by all Somalis. But it does fall short of the richness and sophistication of the classical vocabulary preserved in Northern Somali.

Strengths: It's strength lies in not having any real weaknesses.

Welcome back :denzelnigga: the foremost somali nationalist has returned. :denzelnigga:

So what you were saying is that my dialect is the greastest :mjpls:

Just think about, these people have probably said this word wrong 10mil+ times. :mjcry:

Im just using original Somali.

Those are Mudug Somali words (i.e original Somali).

If you don't use them then don't call yourself Somali.
