Stop saying Mogadishu say Xamar. That’s where the subversion begins from.

Swahili substratum would have been prevalent in Benadiri dialects if that were the case but all we have is Somali dialects. Swahili is only spoken by a small group in Barawe (another Somali name lol) which shows Swahili was an insignificant language in Somalia. Ibn Batuta did not see any Swahili being spoken in Xamar.
