Maay Maay is a Different Language

[nine]

Someone who has never heard Maay Maay would not understand it. @Cumar @Factz Can y'all understand the video below?
@Apollo

That is a different language. It shouldn't be viewed as Af Somali

 

[Luna]

Af Soomali is broken into two: Maxaa Tiri and Maay Tiri. So yes, it is Somali.
Somali is not one singular language.

Thats like saying Cantonese is not Chinese because Mandarin is the main dialect

Maay Maay cannot be understood by Maxaa Tiri speakers unless they learn it therefore it is another language.

Okay, but you can't say it isn't Somali though. It is spoken by Somali's therefore it is a Somali language.
Jyst like Maxa Tiri is also a Somali language. We don't have a monopoly on Somalinimo especially those of us who claim an Arab father kkkkkkkkk

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

May May is Borana dialect. Facts

 

[RichEnoughForGucci]

Shit sounds retarded. Is there a way to stop this language? It's rape to my ears.

 

[GBTarmy]

I only understood the woman, af maay is still somali thought as someone said above.

 

[Apollo]

France, Italy, and Germany killed off most of their dialects.

Somalia can kill off all non-Maxa Tiri if the gov focussed on this.

This is Somali according to you?

The first time I went to Somalia I was shocked when I heard Af May May . It was in Xamar , haafada Mediino specifically where there was a lot of Rahweyn . I thought there was only 1 universal Somali language and was confused . I thought I didn't know Somali for shit

I can actually understand some of it. Its talking about the writing system in MayMay and about the number system.
But yes, they are Somali so it is a Somali language

The diversity of our dialects is a beautiful thing

 

[GBTarmy]

we are a federal country now af maay will be saved in koonfur galbeed constitution you cant remove it.

So are we gonna have 2 million people speaking Maay Maay because of PL aggressively supporting federalism @Boqor Quark Boqor Cisman explain yourself

 

[Fang4]

Af maay maay is one of the three main groups of the Somali linguistic varieties such as Northern and Benadir.

 

[MARAQ DIGAAG]

Af Maxa Tiri speakers probably once spoke a dialect close to Af Maay before they discovered camels and wandered off.

You cannot be serious

Maybe folks in the deep south can understand it, but its as foreign as kikuyi to us

Let them speak that gibberish in Bay N bakool, Somali will always be the official language

The thing is, you don't even try to understand it. If you listen closely, you can get the jist of what they are saying but you turn your noses up at them. You're not somehow better or more Somali
I am not from the South but I can understand a good chunk of ehat they say. I can even understand other languages like Afar and Oromo because of the shared vocab.

You're too proud and have nothing to show for it.
