It's Cushitic, but the peoples have adopted the culture of some Nilotic peoples such as the Maasai.


The video contains many words similar to Somali, but sounds hindi/urdu to me kkkkk, the whole playlist is full of Cushitic languages.
 
Somalic languages are interesting. For instance, Af Maay is a different dialect to Maxaa tiri, but it sounds completely different. It sounds Oromo, rather than Somalis. Then you have Rendille, a Somalic/Macro-Somali language which sounds even more foreign. It makes you think if Cushitic is super old compared to other language families.
 
Their language is probably 50% or so similar to Somali. The non-Niolitic admixed ones like a looot like Somali's as well.

Fun fact: they refer to Muslims. as Somali. I was watching a video on youtube a while ago and they were casually talking amongst themselves about us (at a wedding, I think). I couldn't quite understand what they were saying tho. Wish I could.

Gospel songs
I only watched a min of the first video and I recognized some common words with his singing and the lyrics. He said walal, walash, and support in Somali, 'gargar'.:leon:


Fascinating how religion just spreads. They had to reiterate in the gospel song that this new 'Lord' surpasses all others. You'd think Gods are less exchangeable.
