The only eelay I know is this crazy habar that I really really dislike

It is Somali. Somali is spoken by Somali's.

This breaks it down pretty well. If you don't believe it, look at the sources they use.

I swear toory baan gilinaaya next time I hear somebody talk shit about Af maay

Af Maay always sounded like a pidgin version of Somali.

Is anyone familiar with it's evolution and early influences since I'm assuming it's a hybrid of two or more languages.

Af maay is the more authentic version of Somali tbh.

While Af maxaa tiri has alot of loan words borrowed and it sounds more Semetic than Cushitic tbh.

Are you an Af Maay speaker? What do you think about standardizing the language used at school and commerce to a single dialect/language?

Language differences create divides even more so than clan affiliation.

I don't speak Af maay, but my mom speaks it fluently.

I think Af maay should be taught in schools and be used in the media.

The diversity of our dialects is a beautiful thing

Linguistic diversity is bad for business (reduced labour mobility, communication problems etc).

It also creates social tensions and division.
