Yes even Radio Mogadishu was using lahjada waqooye that you couldn't differentiate it with Radio Hargeysa especially in the 50s and 60s

No offence but the hargeisan accent is looked down on in Xamar, they view it kind of how a RP speaker would see slang

The af waqooyi of Hargeysa, Lascaanood, Burco, Berbera, Erigavo, Boorama reign supreme as the basis for standard af-soomaali everybody know that..

Standard somali isn’t a thing, we speak our dialect you speak yours, no one cares what the standard is. Also everyone speaks our dialect, when maay folk learn normal somali in school they learn the way reer banadir speak, many reer Puntland have parents from banadir so speak our dialect, even the president of Puntland speaks like us. The most dominant somali dialect by far is banadir AKA af hawiye


You didn’t found my country, isaaq have been in the union for 31 years yet have never seen presidency. That should tell you who has always run Somalia

Puntites from Mudug and up say jidho/jidha, there are those who don't but remember many of us have parents raised in the South who lost their pure accents.

Parts of Puntland add "naaniin" to words

And others words such as "halakan, marakan"

Etc

There are a few distinct accents.

All countries in the world has a standard dialect...
What kept Somalia stable and together was the tanaasul/dul qaad reer Somaliland made in the union and now that we have left, Somalia has being peeling the skin from the bone since 1991.

It's NOT Mudug dialect, maybe when the de facto statehood of Somaliland becomes De jure you guys can make it the standard dialect in Somalia

I don't know who lied to isaaq, but the Mudug accent has always been the standard for official Somali communication. That heavy tongued, fast talking "badh badh" accent is only used in Isaaq lands.

But then again we are dealing with people who think that Italian/British colonial borders means Somalia either is geographically "North" or "South". They don't understand what East, Central, West etc, is and will argue with you about this.

Frankly there are too many of you online who speak like uneducated hillbillies about basic facts.

The funny thing is I learnt Somali as a kid on holidays to Mudug but then again most of the people that taught me were relatives who used to live/grew up in Xamar.

Look at President Deni for example, his accent is Southernised as he is a Southern raises MJ. People like him came back to Puntland after the civil war. But if you talk to nomads or people in vilages you will hear the pure Puntite accent. Even in Waamo/Joorre (Jubbaland), you will hear the real accent.

 

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

Both jidho and Jiro are used by Puntites, to clarify. @Periplus
Also by Mjs who live in DDSI.

The official TV/Radio accent you heard before the civil war basically. Easy to understand, not fast or slow.

@DR OSMAN what say you Ditoore

Sorry mudug was never he basis of somali standard as it always was waqooyi accent cuz if its pureness and rich somali words that all the best poetry was based on that accent that's why in the 70s up to now somali poetry is taught in all somali schools so people can know how to speak the standard somali

I have never heard an Isaaq accent used in official Somali broadcasts or written in documents.
I have no need to debate about this as I don't have 'cuqdad' against simple matters like geography or accents/dialects.

For example, Faysal Waabe has your accent and the Reporter is trying to sound like he's from Mudug with a neutral accent. Who sounds like Isaaqs, aside from Isaaqs and other North-Westerners in public? Nobody. Even Faysal Waraabe slowed down his speaking style to be understandable.

 

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

Another example of North-Western accents, who speaks like this except for you guys?
Kulaha "official Somali". You guys would even argue about the colour of the sky.

This accent is like a run on sentence, hardly any breaks or breaths between along with heavy dh dh sounds. This is not appropriate for official broadcasting as it's not enunciated and clear.

Waqooyi accent isn't only spoken by Reer Sheekh Isaxaq but also your kins Dhulbahante and Warsangeli.

The reporter has heavy southern accent but he speaks perfect standard Somali that's understandable to us

I don't care which clans use it as I don't have a problem with it. However, to claim that this accent is the official language is laughably false as it's barely comprehensible when spoken at the pace people normally speak it.

The only accent in Somalia which is easily understandable by all is the Mudug accent and the "Standard" Af-Soomaali spoken by most Somalis in official circles/broadcasts is basically the lighter version of the Mudug accent;

Why can’t you accept that we have different dialects. In the U.S the west, east, south, and north speak differently but it’s the same language at the end of the day. Your reaching bro.

Don't call me naaya you ill-raised, ill-mannered liar. Nobody speaks like you guys, aside from you guys. Most Somalis emulate a neutral accent in official settings aka the Mudug/Central accent.

But I know you guys are allergic to any geographical direction that is not "North" and "South" so I assume your brain is glitching right now.

I have never heard such preposterous claims in my whole life, kulaha people try to sound like North-Westerners.

Somalia's laws and regulations were founded in Mogadishu by SYL aka Somalis from Central and Southern Somalia, not North-Western Somalia.

Mudug was chosen as the standard as it sounds most neutral and most clans can be found there, from Daarood, Hawiye, Madhibaan to Dir and these are the people who decided which language to use as it was their own dialect.
