Somalis can't pronounce P

Ask an old Somali to say Pepsi and Police I swear they will say Bebsi Bolice.

There's no P in the Somali alphabet.

Yeah I figured it out. It's hilarious trying to hear the older generation pronounce words that start with P

 

[McD30]

OK, I will ask my father.

What @McD30 said. I was once trying to spell something out for a woman in Somali and I kept saying "B" but she kept saying "P"
after repeating it couple more times, she was like: "Ba'da gaalda?"

B as in boy or b as ben.
sometimes younger ones end up trying too hard and end up pronouncing the B as a P lol as in ay pro (bro)

White people can't pronounce 'Ayn (C)(ع) or Hā’ (X)(ح)? So what? Languages are different.
