Rendilles in Modern Clothes

[Apollo]

The Nilotic attire makes them look like savages, while when they wear modern clothes they look like Somalis. These are all Rendilles:

Some look like Oromo some like Habesha

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

I agree sxb, they literally look no different to Somalis.

 

[Eisenstein]

The freakish thing is listening to their language and understanding about half of it.

They don't look somali to me tbh

I got them from Rendille facebook groups and confirmed they were all Rendille and lived in Marsabit or had ties there.

Kenya is one of the most developed countries in Africa. A small number of them are middle class.

Somali kenyans then

Do you have more pictures of her... for research purposes on the Rendille of course.

Do they have Borana Oromo admixture?

Some of them look Xabasha.

 

[AIOPZ]

They mostly look more Xabesha than Somalia, tbh.

 

[Factz]

Some look Somali but some others, you can see the Nilotic admixture in them.

Linguists have checked the Rendille language and confirmed their language is related to Somalis but not closely. They definitely shared a common ancestor with the Somalis but traditionally lived around Kenya. I don't believe in the myth that they used to be Somalis.

their are as somali as the oromos are
i dont think these guys are somali or oromo just rendille and they are a close reletive of us
their just cushites

got a question for you apollo do they identify closely with oromos who they share a religion with or somalis, is the connection a religous connection cultral or similar foods music or language and are they aware of their close connection with somalis or oromos ?

 

[Southerner]

The first and last look Somali, the rest not so much.

You can't look like Somalia. Somalia is a country, not a person.

There are very few linguists with expertise in Somali or Rendille, let alone both. I'd take any such claims with a mountain of salt.
