What’s the differences between northern and southern Somalis?

[killerxsmoke]

I say canjeelo

Only little kids say canjeelo

1 was colonized by the brits, other by the italians.

thats literally the only difference. both worship the same god, speak the same language, & eat off the same plate of food

I'm speaking from experience bro, visited Southern Somalia in 2018; it was an eye-opening trip for me, whole clans I was counting as Jileec turned to be Madow.

What clans?

I know a large number of Bantus roam around the streets of Xamar and a lot of them LARP as RX and stuff

RX isnt even a clan bro. infact its debatable if everyone south of Gaalkacyo is even Soomaal

This is the most majerteen thing I‘ve ever heard,
“everyone south of galkacyo is not soomal“

 

[reer_ugaas_hussein]

There is no real ethnic difference between konfuur and waqoyi somali, but there are many cultural ones.

I don’t even know if I’m a northerner or southern

 

[KillStreakIsCool]

Other than accent/dialect lol. I’ve noticed a few differences since I’ve always lived in cities where most of the Somalis are from xamar or around there meanwhile my family is 100% reer waqooyi

One difference is food. Reer waqooyi dont be eating banana with rice all the time lol. Only sometimes. And we don’t eat certain pastries like shushumo (don’t know if I spelled that right). We also don’t eat cambuulo.

The culture is slightly diff too. I feel like northerners (esp reer djibouti) are more liberal while southerners are more conservative.

Dude, Shushumo requires a full set of teeth and I don't need to remind you, what chewing Qaad has done to northern teeth.

Look at the difference between Northern and Southern America and you’ll find your answer

Nope! WRONG! The opposite for Somalia


North Americans are city dwellers- civilized



South Americans are country

I don’t even know if I’m a northerner or southern

Ask your parents

I'm from xamar and i say laxoox malawax and canjeero.

shegaato radar is going off. Malawax is different from laxoox/canjeero, no one calls it that.

It is different habibty but just like the term laxoox is used in yemen the term malawax is also used in yemen. I as someone born in xamar placed in southern somalia use these terms that are also used in northern somalia and yemen get it?
