Somali regional writing accent guessing thread

[Jeesto]

Wajigiin gubay, meesha waxaa isugu yimi ciyaal aan hal erey oo af Soomaali ah soo rogan karayn.

Dugsi baan idiin bilaabayaa, hada isasoo qora. Damiininada idin haysa anaa idinka daaweynaya.

Sounds eastern Somaliland. Maybe Sool/Nugaal area

What's the difference between the Reer Muqdisho and Reer Mudug dialects? My parents grew up in Muqdisho.

Lol, I meant I speak a mix of different dialects. What's wrong with my writing? I was proud of it.

They are very different. Mudug is standard Somali (that means most people can understand it ). Your Somali is okay it just needs
some fixs like this. You have to write it how you would say it in real life.

Waxaan qoro ma aqaani. Af Somaligaygana wuu sii dicifaya, iga raali ahod. Afleena waa af aad uu ficaan, waano mid oo sii yaranayo. In aan barano waye, ilmaheyno iin aan barno waaye.
Daqankeeno iyo afkeeno hadan ilownaa maxaan nehee? Dad eber ah baan noqondoona hadaan ka taagno afkeeno.
Afkii hoyo yaan ilowbiin!

@Luna What is ahod? I assume you mean ahow. You use waaye a lot defo a southern accent.

I thought there were no hard and fast rules with Somali spelling. I say "run" without stretching the "u" sound, and elongate the "a" in "waa". Also, wouldn't "ruunta/runti" and "aa/ayaa" come down to minor accent changes?

My ending was plural which you changed to singular.

 

[Bohol]

@Cinnamon Spice You are wrong Somali language does have spelling and vowels just like any other language. You are right about the ending
part being plural but in the beginning the grammar isn't correct. You can use runti but soomaaligey or wii is not a word in Somali language.


Correct: Ruunta/ruunti af soomaaligayga wa isku wada qasanyahay

Wrong: Runti af Soomaaligey wii isku wada qasantahey

@Luna What is ahod? I assume you mean ahow. You use waaye a lot defo a southern accent.

Yeah, I did. Whoops. Idk, I grew up with people from all over Somalia and their acxents rubbed off on me. I used to speak in a straight up Waqooyi accent when I was little though. I forgot a lot of my Somali

Allah kariim! Kuwa aan af soomaaliga bari doono baad tahaywalal sida uugu dhakhsaha badan isusoo qor.

I'm not even gonna lie- I need help. Thats kinda why I wrote that paragraph. I was lowkey projecting
Honestly, though? Is it that bad? Any tips to improve?
Btw what is "isusoo qor"? Af Maay maad ku hadashaa?

@Luna I would recommend reading few Somali news websites such as hiiraan online or others, then you will learn overtime.

And to think, my parents just watch me speak it.

Your Somali needs urgent intervention. Go back home is my advice. I spent 10 months there and I came back speaking like a pro.

Isusoo qor is not af May lol it means enlist yourself.

Well, I guess I gotta take an L this time. I might be going soon, I'm not sure, but this makes the most sense.
However, in my own defence- I don't talk as bad as I write. Up until a few months ago, I actually never wrote in Somali.

Thanks for the advice as well @Duke of Bohol. I will take it all into consideration. Mahadsanid.
