I'm pretty sure accent is lahjad in Somali. I'm speculating here but doesn't it ring bells when Tunnis who have a long history in the south and the Geledi speak a different language from the rest of Somalis? Many people were Somalized by the Ajuuraan between the 13th-17th century.
@Samawada, I wikied Af-May lol hence why I asked @miski if May and Tunni are similar. The Af-May wiki page mentions a Somali linguist and scholar who also claims that it is a separate language from Maxa tiri. I stand with him so I'll see what he wrote about Af-May and get back to you two.
Yes fif column homey.

Load of clap trap. I know tunni people this what I've been told for the horses mouth. Don't worry about it you're ethiopian anyways.
I'm not talking about the Tunni alone, but the Af-May speaking people in general... I'm biased and I'd rather believe a Somali scholar tbh *shrugs*
Let us just agree to disagree.
f*ck Ethiopia
I thought we were cool though

'Somali scholars' arent good enough. What is this guys background, is he a linguist is he fluent in both?
Here are some short videos from a linguist who speaks both Maxa and maay.
There's also a very interesting thread on somnet about it, very informative. I'll pm you the link if you want.
You knock down a Somali scholar who doesn't express your narrative then post another one who does
I'd rather use Somali professors as references instead of Andrzejewski, Lewis and et cetera.
What are Mansur's credentials bal?
According to Abdullahi's wiki page, he holds a masters degree and a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Montreal, specialising in the Afro-Asiatic languages. Not much info about him out there
I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic myself, and I'm deliberately being stubborn because you haven't given us enough evidence that Af-May is the original Somali language.
Sure, I'll have a look it. Send it
Naw this guy is a Psuedo Professor, he writes all kinds of unsubstianted nonsense about somali history. He is much more of a liar than an actual scholar/intellectual. No Different than Eno and Burhan. The contempt they have for the larger Somali clans and Somali culture is ridicoulus.
He's a linguist, I'm going to trust someone who's fluent in both dialects over someone who is only familiar with one. If you watched his video eno says its a different language and he disagrees. Maay is not qualified enough to be its own language according to linguists, not just this professor.
Eno wants to usurp maay as a Bantu language and mans our disagrees, you have more in common with eno than you think. As far as biases you clearly have one against D&M, why I don't understand?
There exist many somali linguists who speak Maay Maay whoop dee doo there is nothing special about it, so you dont have to reiterate it
Plus The Butthurt Bantu Prof is not even in the vidoes you posted. Post the video where he argues with Eno.
I dont have anything against Digil and Mirifle i recognize them as fellow somalis and fellow country men. I think Af Maay is a somali dialect with differences mimicking the relations between Mandarin and Cantonese. I also dont think there is no relations with oromo other than it being a Cushitic language. But to say that Af Maxa tiri is less pure and less original because of more Arabic loan words is ridicoulus.
It's just this Professor trys make bantus an indigenous people in Somalia that have a claim to our land & resources. This is crazy walahi and there is no proof of this. Bantus is in Somalia came in 1800 arab slave trade.
He also attacks somali identity,clans structure and culture. Are you sure this dude is not bantu? He sure is suicidal if he isnt

Thats a false title btw . This is not Af May May she is speaking This is some Bantu bravacoo mixed shit which the Bantus call Af Orgie. Very Misleading.
@RoobleAlWaliid @miski @Samawada @IntensiveCareUnit @Duchess @Shamis @Amun
Here listen to this, its sounds just like Af Maxa Tri with a twist. I could i actually some of it.
This is what true Af Maay Sounds like
Whats funny about it even tho a Af Maxa speaker usually has a hard time following Af maay. The Af Maay speaker can understand the Af Maxa tiri perfectly sometimes.
