Redditors claiming Northern and Southern Somalis look different?

[Mohamedamiin120]

I can generally tell people by their subclans.

One is from Galbeed and the other is from SL. Tell the difference! I will even add in a non-Somali, just to make it not a 50/50.

Liar.

Not at all.

For example (and one of many examples), below is a Osman Mohamuud man. All the Osman Mohamuuds I know, men and women, have this unique shape of set of lips. Every single one of them I know and I know like two dozen Osman Mohamuuds.

Liar.

I know tons of people who can do this irl. I met people who never knew me, and correctly guessed my subclan.
Some can even do it by dialect.

People who say this usually have an agenda.

Overall, Somalis have quite a bit of diversity in appearances, but I don't think it is regional.

I correctly guessed a Jamac Siyaad - Dhulbahante some days ago. His face was shaped exactly like a few Jamac Siyaads I know. I can guess even further down. Why do Somalis get upset when you say Somalis have a certain look?

The darkest Somali I know is a Cidagale woman, her skin is blue. It has nothing to do with region.

That is not true. They almost always marry Habar Gidirs if they marry out. All the cadcads I know and have seen have a Habar Gidir husband and they're usually very close spouses.

You are the Canadian dahir calasow, very clued up on Somali clans.

Your Trolling, majority of us in the north know we have the same phenotype as sourtherns. The only think i can tell is things like red marks on the teeth which is common in toghdeer and lascanood, cidagale and ogadeen are known for heights and etc...

This is too hard lol. If i were to even guess it would be because of the background not his face

I was thinking nfd or something but im not sure where in somalia got environments like this.

 

[Rayaale]

There’s no difference between Northern Somalia and southern Somalis, even on dna and genetics wise we are all the same, the only difference is accents and dialects.

Actually i change my answer to galmudug or buunlan because the land is very dry
