I wonder what is the purest somali dialect, meaning the least loan words. I would guess the purest would be the reer mudug dialect
nah it couldn't be waqooyi. they have the most Arabic loan words. instead of saying ukun they say beyd which is Arabic and say daqiiq for flour instead of burcurrently trying to learn af may, I’m fascinated with it.
I think waqooyi & mudug are closest things to pure
