Bajuunis are very different from 'Banaadiris', not even comparable in the slightest. While they also have different foreign backgrounds, I don't know if they view themselves as an ethnic group, but they have a distinct cultural group and share more things in common with one another under the banner Bajuunis, than 'Banaadiris'. They speak the same language, which your people can't relate, among other things.
It is comparable, as I've explained bajunis are from bajuni coast and archipelago meanwhile banadiris are from banaadir coast. They don't view themselves as an ethnic group obviously, there's Arab Bajuni tribes, Persian Bajuni tribes, Cushitic Bajuni tribes and Bantu Bajuni tribes.
Language isn't relevant, I'm talking about the identity
As I said before, very few people go by Banaadiri while all Bajuunis identify themselves Bajunnis. And it's by design for a reason. A more relevant comparison would be Bajuuni vis a vis Barawaani.
You're waffling on the spot, majority identify by banaadiri like wise majority bajunis identify by bajuni . That's not relevant, barawa is just one town not a whole coast
How is not limited? Again, why isn't all people inhabiting the Banaadiri area referred to as 'Banaadiri'? Especially considering how it's not an ethnic group, but rather supposedly a regional identity?
All the real inhabitants from prior to colonization are referred to as banadiri from xamar to barawa including the towns in-between, I didn't say it's an ethnic group and it is a regional identity as I've already explained
Kulaha you don't decide who use it kkk. While implying that it's exclusively decided by your people. Ironically, over the years, different people have been included into your confederacy and thus become Banaadiri while others who had nothing to do with your confederations can't use it, lol. Despite ethnic Somalis having presence in the area upward of a millennium. Make it make sense.
It's not a confederacy, confederacy are like the confederacies of xamar like bandhawow, moorsho or confederacies of barawa like biida which have had different people included over the centuries which is natural . There's been families that moved from interior and joined confederacies as late as less than one hundred years ago.
The reer samaale's on the coast are all banadiri from the ones in xamarweyne and shingaani, saraha ,jilib marka, barawa
Just the term Banaadir have been used to define different geographical areas over the years. But you're not ready to comprehend this fact. You were the same person who said the Somali ethnicity doesn't exist, only territory (Somalia) with the same name, and thus anyone from there will be called Somali. Why doesn't the same apply to the Banaadiri region?
It's always had the same meaning, Italians changing it or the government after independence is irrelevant.
The same applies for banaadir region, all the banadiris are people from there. Just like Swahili
When did I talk about a national identity? Somali ethnicity =/= Somali nationality.
I'm talking about national identity
An ethnicity can exist without its national identity (such as Somalis in Kenya and Ethiopia), meanwhile the Somali national identity can't exist without its ethnic majority group (such as ethnic Somalis in Somalia).
The reer samaale's in Kenya are Kenyan nationals they're equally as Kenyan as Arab tribes in Kenya, likewise Reer samaale's in Ethiopia are equally as Ethiopian as any other. Are the native Madows along shabelle in DDS now "ethnic somali" with that flawed logic?
