Jokes aside, I know you are kind enough to listen to morons like me, but you just regurgitated the point I raised above, our ethnicity is all based on theory aka academia nowadays
Nope, it isn't. The idea that we are a distinct people of our own is not owed to academics at all. The Arab who wrote the Futuh al-Habasha and called all the distinct clans in it "Somali" or the Brits who trounced around our lands during the 19th century who also referred to us as "Somali" did not get that idea or terminology from their bum-holes. It was obviously a noticeable identity the local people passed onto foreigners due to being aware of it themselves.
Also, if you have anything against academics and their writings; come up with actual reasons for what's wrong with what they share. Don't post some regular gay shit like "It's pseudoscience" or "I don't like it or agree with it.". No, explain why the dialects of Somali don't form a single language. Explain why Somalis look essentially the same in terms of autosomal DNA every-time they get their genomes sequenced (unless they're
recently out-mixed), implying a common ancestral origin. Actually make intelligent critiques and share counter-evidence, don't just do the opposite of appeal to authority and dismiss something because some academic said or wrote it, like an idiot.

Some of us claim to be descended from Turks, others from Iran, Yemenis, Hijazis, North Africans and there is a group here who claim, they are Greeks
Fanciful OWD-type claims based on nothing. Their genomic profiles will break their hearts within seconds when they realize they're just another generic canjeero eater.

In terms of "af maxaa", people were forced upon to accept it to become the Somali national language during the last regime prior to the Civil War and one of my early Somali heroes has allegedly murdered thousands of Somalis for speaking their endoglossic language.
Why are you conflating Af-Maxaa (the whole non Af-Maay body of Somali) with
Standard Somali? You don't seem to know what you're talking about. I was referring to the Somali language as a whole which encompasses all the
native colloquial dialects across the areas inhabited by Somalis. It's basically everything Somalis colloquially utilize other than actual distinct languages like Af-Maay or Af-Tunni. Basically the
North-Central dialects and the
Benadir/Coastal dialects; these form mere dialects of the same language (Somali) upon inspection, that's just a fact. And nobody forced any of these people to speak these local dialects, they just inherited them from their ancestors who largely had a common local Cushitic speaking origin with the other dialect speakers.
Standard Somali, what you're going on about, is a different and recent invention where a particular colloquial form of Somali was chosen as its official and written form.

Are we ethnically Somali? Maybe, yes, maybe, no.
There is no maybe about it. We fit all the criterion for being an ethnicity. It's just a plain fact only delusional tribalists would deny. Honestly, though... Don't mistake me for a panist or something. I honestly don't want to be ethnically related to people like you at all and would choose to be Greek or Chinese if I had a choice before I was born but here I am stuck with this shit, and so are you so make do.

Jiboutians are better off to create their own ethnicity because project Somali ethnicity failed.
Rofl, they're free to make up some new ethnicity that just speaks a dialect of Somali if they want. Not like
they can do anything, though. They're just some poor sods living under a 3rd world dictator who treats the French colonial project like his own birth-right and he's fine with the current status quo as long as he gets to stay chubby and wealthy.

Now, I paid you the respect of replying. Please do heed my words and end this useless tangent here.
Now, f*ck off. I tried to be civil with my last reply but seriously; do what you said you'd do like twice already and leave.
