the best somali dialect

[Jjero]

In my opinion xamar dialect is the best
Waqooyi dialect won't even come close to Xamar dialect

reer xamar accent is the most romantic of all somali dialects you gotta admit it every xalimo loves it
Imagine waking up and getting a call from your Abdi from Xamar

Abaayo xalay oo dhan ma siixan nooh, iilen maskaxdeydu meel walbu iga ordeysey abaayo macaan

and that Liiban from Hargeisa calling you with that loud ass Waqooyi accent:

Dee bal heedhe waxan muxu waaye,dee caawa oo dhan maan aan kaa jiifan karin, allah bisinka
(someone yelling in the phone) Aryaahe, aar birta naga qaad dee!!!!

Do you know what his specific dialect is called?? And no, I looked through a lot of videos and all the other ones are a bit too soft
That guy and his accent is so . Also, is there a difference between xamar accent and PL accent??

[Pilgrim]

the waqooyi accent is the best hands down especially their ones from sool and sanaag

How do you differentiate accents on a language you don't know?

Weren't you the poster who said Tigrinya sounds better than Amharic? You don't need to speak the language in order to hear the differences in accents...it's obvious to the ear. Someone who doesn't speak English can still tell the difference in accents between some kind of Brit, an Aussie, some kind of American, and some kind of Canadian. It's a sound thing lol.

Everyone can differentiate Waqooyi and May May accent from other Somali accents

I'm not who you're talking about.

Tigrinya is a different language than Amharic, of course they won't sound alike. I doubt people can tell the difference between (certain) English accents such as the Canadian and Australian accents.

Af may is not even Somali.

Ok, sorry for the mix up but my point still stands. Tigrinya has a certain accent which makes it different from Amharic (even though I acknowledge they are two separate languages & Tigrinya would be more comparable to the Eritrean dialect, they(Amharic & Tigrinya) both still derive from Ge'ez and are closely related). The difference in accent is this gluttural type sounds which are non-existent in Amharic, so that was where I was making the comparison but you're right it ends there.

As to Canadian accent vs. Aussie accent, there is definitely a difference that a non-English speaker could pick up. Take a newfie accent for example, it sounds more Irish than anything...and that would stick out when being compared to Aussie. The only dialects that I find hard to distinguish are the Arabic ones.
