Yes, its a close cushitic language like af-garre. Ive seen the light and you will too.Not Somali, but should be studied to tell us about Somali development?
Af Maay is as Somali as Maxaa tiri.Yes, its a close cushitic language like af-garre. Ive seen the light and you will too.
No offense bro but if I took one of your ancestors and dropped them with their af-maay in JL/NFD/Ogadenia/SL/Djibouti/Puntland/Khatumo…Af Maay is as Somali as Maxaa tiri.
Af Maay is spoken in jubbaland, NFD and parts of somali galbeed. This misconception that Af Maay is only spoken in Baydhabo needs to be wiped out.No offense bro but if I took one of your ancestors and dropped them with their af-maay in JL/NFD/Ogadenia/SL/Djibouti/Puntland/Khatumo…
not a soul would relate to them or understand them anymore then afaan-Oromo.

We need a one united country where the federal government has more power than the statesA lot of Somalis don't understand or respect the concept of autonomy, until a psycho government comes for them. We need a confederation, forget a federal country, to accommodate our inherent differences.
Yhh that was in Bakool. It shows Maay and Maxaa aren't as mutually intelligible as people think.I recall a video of Af-Maxaa tiri speakers using a translator to communicate with Af-Maay speakers somewhere in the Jubba Valley. That's evidential proof its a different language. To say it's a dialect is disingenuous and it should be established in the constitution along with others.
So wil u want maay to be clasfiied as seperate language bro.Yhh that was in Bakool. It shows Maay and Maxaa aren't as mutually intelligible as people think.
It's up to the linguists and what they want to define it asSo wil u want maay to be clasfiied as seperate language bro.
