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![]()
Okay, but you can't say it isn't Somali though. It is spoken by Somali's therefore it is a Somali language.Maay Maay cannot be understood by Maxaa Tiri speakers unless they learn it therefore it is another 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
I can actually understand some of it. Its talking about the writing system in MayMay and about the number system.View attachment 53436 View attachment 53436 View attachment 53436

The diversity of our dialects is a beautiful thingFrance, Italy, and Germany killed off most of their dialects.
Somalia can kill off all non-Maxa Tiri if the gov focussed on this.
So are we gonna have 2 million people speaking Maay Maay because of PL aggressively supporting federalism @Boqor Quark Boqor Cisman explain yourselfwe are a federal country now af maay will be saved in koonfur galbeed constitution you cant remove it.

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 SomaliYou cannot be serious
Maybe folks in the deep south can understand but its as foreign as kikuyi to us
War yaa Ilaahay yaqaanThe 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.
