I understand you bro. Even though I speak Maay myself, sometimes I meet someone who speaks that pure Maay and it's like I don't even understand 100% of what they say

Love the diversity. I plan to learn af-maay after I master maxaa-tiri, everyone in my family is fluent in both. There’s alot of maay speakers I think it’s somewhat essential.

South somalia should have in school both afmaxaatiri as a first language and afmaay as a second mandatory, like how schools generally do english as second language internationally. Other languages and swahili variants should be limited to choice/regional specific to high population of speakers
