After a few hours of work I cooked up this map and chart of languages in Somaliweyn, if there are any inaccuracies tell me and I will correct them.

Potential questions: 'Why does Aweer go into non-Aweer territory?' because I did not have space to branch out related languages with sub-1000 speakers. 'What abt (dialect of Swahili of Somali)' Well I did not include most dialects unless they were either different enough or notable- and no a few different words does not create a language. 'Why did you not split upper and lower Pomoko?' You did not know Pomoko existed until this map shhhhh. “Where Arabic at?” it’s not the majority language anywhere. “Where is Garreh?” loanwords from Oromo don’t make a separate dialect, and indeed Garreh-Ajuraan was discontinued as a language group in the 2000s/2010s.
