How long before Af Maay Maay becomes the main dialect in South Somalia?

[nine]

Exactly.

I know this Garre woman whenever she speaks in af maay maay it's very hard to tell what she says so I just nod along.

Did she speak Af Garre? Af Garre is straight up Oromo @Shaolin23 said that before. I heard it once and never understood anything lol

Yep it was Af Garre fam.

I couldn't really tell what she was saying as well.

They are Somalis but man their dialect waa cajib and screwed up.

@nine I have seen two Garre genomes. They are 10% Omotic or 20% Borana Oromo... while ethnic Somalis are 0% this.

When Apollo dissed Maay Maay

There are no books written in Af-Maay. It's a primitive tribal ooga booga language with no purpose. Bay and Bakool consistently are at the bottom of development metrics.

Having several languages in a country is bad for national cohesion. Somalia's government should kill off this language by banning it from the schools and forbidding any signs written in it.

It's not a language, but a speech disorder.

They must be the products of our mass enslavement of the pagan Boranas in the last 200 years. Mashallah. This is beautiful.

I view Maay Maay as a different language tbh when I heard some Madows speaking it sounded foreign Another problem is Raxanweyn is a confederation so assimilating foreigners and teaching them Maay Maay is possible.

Did you make a mistake? If Garre are 20 % Borana Oromo and 10 % Omotic, then that would imply that Borana Oromos are 50 % Omotic which is higher than Wolayta levels.

Boranas are around 30% Omotic. Alright, you got me. Do the math.

 

[Jinchuriki]

Af maay maay, is a literal language, if it was a dialect then it will be called maay maay.

Contiuning why would it be a offical language when only couple percent speak it.

Af soomali is more sophisticated hence better.

Maybe they have Oromo concubine ancestor for example during the southern Darod expansions there had been Oromo concubine giving birth to Marehan kids according to historical reports

20 %.

20 %.

There are only a few samples and one of those is a Harari Oromo mislabeled Borana lowering the percentage. The real Borana ones are around 25-30%.

So when you exclude the Harari Oromo sample, the Borana average is 25-30 %?

Somewhere close to that.

Boranas border the Konso... who are Omotic language shifters. That's where it comes from.

So what’s the Omotic average among Harari Oromos? I thought that the distinction between them and other Oromos were just myths Somalis told themselves.

7%ish from memory.

7%ish from memory.

And roughly the same amount of new Arab ancestry I’m guessing?

They cluster with Somalis on the global PCA.. but sub-regional ancestry is different.
