I just got a classic north west accent nothing special

 

[berberaboy66]

what is that

Term of endearment. Like calling someone “honey”

 

[Makadoor]

There’s even pretty clear differences within those areas too. Like I’m pretty sure most Somali people could tell the difference between reer Hargeisa/reer Burco.

Different words too, I know in Ceerigaabo they’ll say “gacaliye” go to Borama and it’s “huuno”

Hunno is a common word in Djibouti too.

Ciise, Gadabursi, Sacad Muse, Jidwaaq, and Northern Ogaden all use it.

I only use laxoox also, but I mentioned canjeero cause i hear it a few times including my parents

Somali diasporas sometimes adopt words from different somali regions

Of course. My point was even within the Waqooyi dialect, there’s differences based on areas which people live in. Sacad Muse in Gabiley and Muse Ismacil in Ceeri both have the same dialect, but differences based on the groups they come into contact with regularly.

 

[NidarNidar]

My grandmother and some other family members from miyi used to call it kimis

Isn't kimis just alternative words for sabaayad.

The accents are different but the words are the same.

Ciise and Gadabursi in Sitti and Fafan have different accents to those in Djibouti and Awdal. There's even more sub accents.

The actual word is 'kibis', another Yemeni & Masri Arabic word, and it means the same as 'sabaayad', the actual word is 'sabayah'.

My dad speaks with a Mudug accent and my mom speaks with a Mudug accent as well, but there's also a bit of Xamar influence. I honestly don't have any accent, it sounds very neutral. My Somali is good btw, but it doesn't have any detectable Somali accent. You really can't tell where I'm from based on the way I speak. I think this is common among those born in the diaspora in general

Kibis/kimis is an old afroasiatic cognate describing a flat bread.

 

[Rayaale]

Mom is from Burco they call it laxoox,dad is from central/mudug region they call it canjeelo

 

[hornkompf]

Never heard of canjeero/canjeelo till i was like 11 ngl

 

[attash]

Canjeelo, from SSC. It seems like canjeelo is northeastern, laxoox is northwestern, and canjeero is southern.
