Sharing one language is another myth when you add the biggest one that we are homogenous people. Nothing wrong with both, we need to celebrate our diversity. Personally, I want to preserve my native language the Boqor's afsomaali.

Wait until you hear Af garre

The Boqors Somali is the standard, professional Somali from Mudug. It was introduced there by Boqor Keenadiid and even Afweyne adopted it as the standard format. It is like our version of Classical Arabic. Most don’t know this history

I understand probably 5-10% of what he said, I'll ask my grandmother to listen.

In the civilized world, dialects don't exist and the language is standardized. All that is left is accents and few isolated communities with dialects, mueseums too. Sure it makes a culture rich but it comes with problems such as original video.. As the country develop properly, even without policies these dialects will be gone.

Have you been to the EU? The nordic countries have so many dialects, they could all be classified as their own but related to the standard one. Somalia can't even compare imo.

I don’t understand either but I can tell the difference between maay and mahaaw has little to no ca or q in it.
This might be a water down version tho.

 

[Leila]

This isnt even pure Af maay, this dialect is spoken in the shabelle regions. The Af Maay from Baay/Bakool is much harder to understand.

Farmaajo for all his faults wasn’t anywhere as near as corrupt as HSM, yet you seem to think HSM is the second coming of the messiah? You’ve been rabidly pro HSM every time this topic comes up, btw do you realise the predecessor you’re referring to is HSM (first term)?

as for your second point, that’s just an ad hominem attack, no factual basis to it whatsoever, you seem completely unaware as to the reality of politics in Somalia.

I’m quite familiar with Somali politics sxb, but thank you for your concern. And yes, I was also referring to HSM, I didn’t think I’d have to spell it out for you, bit self explanatory don’t you think. Maybe work on your comprehension skills sxb, that should do the trick ae


Corruption is corruption, no matter what scale. Unlike you I have always been consistent in my criticism of both HSM and Farmajoo, but I also give credit where it’s due (second coming Kulaha that’s a good one bruv). The guy went from been on minimum wage to been a multi millionaire living in Qatar and here you are defending him but it’s “ok” because it wasn’t as much as HSM ae


Mate you’ve got to be joking your constantly insulting other clans and agree with others that do the same hey to each their own, I don’t really care but be honest with yourself, people will respect you more. Btw I ain’t the only person who’s dropped your name, much like the other newbie you’ve created a “lot” of beef on here for such a short time of being a member. Btw I’m deeply sorry for the late reply, I was spending some quality time with the misses and fam, you know how it is, constant online presence isn’t healthy. Good lad.

its funny that you call yourself anti qabilist but now are practically calling for the cultural genocide of rx, who are you to say that their language shouldn't exist. Also there are many "civilized" and developed countries where several languages are spoken like in switzerland, belgium, even in spain to this day many local languages like galicien and catalan are still spoken and the difference between af maay and af maxaa is similar to that of castilian and catalan

Dis nigge spent 30 minutes drafting a half baked reply about his gym routine, intellectual alwax. what can I say? Caqli qurbo mayn, you couldn’t keep it strictly politics and started using ad hominems, also I’m honoured you see me as a legend and therefore your superior.

Let me save you some time, he is just another Abgaal kid who supports his tuug uncle HSM and likes to over-use emojis. I’m sure he’ll protest and claim he’s a ‘waddani’ but there really is nothing to see here, keep it moving.

Oh…and he probably doesn’t speak Somali as usual for these so called ‘anti-qabiil’ kids

 

[Misil]

Is that a mix of Maay and Maxaa they’re speaking? Very intelligible compared to other times I’ve heard Maay.

This is not even pure Maay.

It’s actually pretty close to the one we speak in Bay/Bakool. It’s just that he is speaking very slowly and pronouncing his words fully. That’s probably an influence we got more recently because we usually speak very fast and slur our speech lol. More importantly, he’s using Arabic/English/Italian technical terms that are shared between us so it’s easier to follow.

How is that cultural genocide are you insane? You did not even understand what I am talking about buddy. I never said their language shouldnt exist, but there should be one common standardized language to be used in professional settings. In all the countries youve listed, except for maybe belgium which split between two major languages so that dosent apply, nor does catalan since their a completely different entirely in fact they use that language as their main support for their independance from spain. But other then that, they all have one standardized language to be used in professional and general settings. Give me one example of their defense minister speaking in a different dialect or language.
