Yeah there's some Italian words. Sijilaato, sboorko and chao are examples.
Lol I've heard these words being used too
Deja
Alore
perque ( this one my fam use it :farmajoyaab:)
Ispitoro - vaccum cleaner
misicoto- I think it means undercooked I know loads that use it
Auguriyo- This one is used by some somalis instead of Hambalyo:noneck:
Borsa kaldo- This one doesn't have a somali word for it, it's the hot water bottle like thing you use when you're sick
Baanyo- my fam use it to say bath, apparently the actual word for bath is waasko :siilaanyolaugh: which is funnier
Kushiin- Kitchen
whoever speaks italian will probably think I'm butchering these words:siilaanyolaugh:
But that's how somali say it

Reer waqooyi are also diverse in dialect too.

:susp:Us reer Koonfur don't speak Hindi. Af-Waqooyi should NOT be standard Somali. Do you want the rest of Somalis to start talking Hindi?
:susp:The Waqooyi accent is overloaded with DH:susp::susp: Even Baran is called Badhan:susp:


Waqooyi Koonfur

Casiir or Sharaab = Cabitaan or Bio
Xamaam = Musqul
Garac = Wecel
Laxoox = Canjeero
I don’t think anyone really says xamaam, most say suuli.
 
I thought xamaam, sharaab, maqas, malqacad etc. were all authentic Somali until I moved to the UK
I didn't even know people called canjeelo canjeero

I think 20% of the language is made up on the spot anyway

On the contrary for me, before I moved to the Uk I have never heard the following words ever: laxoox, canjeeLo,ina or inan,habo, eeg, garan, habo,suuli etc.. And I went to afrika before moving here

Reer Waqooyi accent : aggressive,full of defence daragotry words and talktive.

Reer Bari accent : modest,articlute and descriptive.

Reer mudug accent :Annoying high pitched and repetitive.

Reer Galbeed accent : Poetic and classic Somali accent suitable for story telling and poetry.
