What language is the closest to Somali?

Stop the trolling, Cushitic is only around 6,000 years itself.

Are you saying that the proto people mixed and became the Cushitic 6000 years ago?

I meant the linguistic grouping, nothing about the people speaking it.

rendille language has alot of kh as in خ in Arabic which is very rare in somali

 

[Ferrari]

Rendille, no doubt.

Some of their vocabs are straight up Somali.

I really wish there were more Somali Language experts and linguists. Cushitic has been largely neglected by linguists in favour of the Semitic and Indo-European.

It's your responsibility as Somali diaspora to get degree in linguistic instead studying arts subjects.

Rendile to Aff Soomali is Saho to Afar.

Soomali and Rendile are the same language. When I hear Rendile I understand 70% of what the person speaking it is saying.

Interesting.. some similar words in Oromo.

Ana Diidde = Aannaa Diddhe or An Dhiddhe
Gargara = support/help
Qabu = hold
Wan Arke = I saw

To lazy to translate the rest, but very similar.
