RX gor gor soldier speaking to Middle Shabelle locals. They don't understand a word and need a translator. They're confused:pachah1: but the soldiers that hes with that are translating are also abgaal but reer muqdisho.

Reer Muqdisho can generally understand you or at least figure out what you're saying.

some d&m/maay maay speaking folks speak a diluted maay maay which is mixed with normal somali. its easier to understand them. but get someone who never interacted with maay maay speaker (like someone from hargeisa) they wont understand pure maay maay. maay maay even has some different letters like p.
 
Are there really people who are so ignorant to not understand af maay, I can understand qurbojoog people but if you are a resident of Somalia you should at least be able to understand
There's no problem with not understanding it if it's not your language it's not compulsory for them, but disrespecting it is the problem, they're always free to learn and if they're in the capital or anywhere in south then they would need to understand it 3 months in any maay speaking area is enough to be able to understand it
