Around 27 minutes he says Muqdisho is a Swahili word. He goes onto say coastal cities were developed by the “civilised” and “free” not “desert people”. Claims Batuta did not encounter any Somalis in muqdishu and Somali arrived on the coast and Somalis arrived after the Italian came.
Barawa guy nervously laughing along even though his community have lived with Somalis in Barawa for a long time and their language is also heavily infused with Somali, as are all other dialects spoken along the coast in Marka and Muqdisho, etc.
Doesn’t challenge the Hindi guy nor does he ask him to explain why Swahili has left no traces in Muqdisho dialects?
