what dialect can you not understand?

[Daacad90]

North central somali is the standard, every somali should be able to understand that c'mon

 

[Daacad90]

It means beautiful to waqooyi people. It’s also an uncommon somali name for girls.

[Shmurda]

I speak reer waqooyi because my hooyo taught me Somali so I get clowned when I talk to my mudug family but I understand them tho

The only hard to understand dialect is af maay maay. For the most part the words are the same between every dialect

I can understand and speak mudug pretty well

 

[Timo Jareer and proud]

Maay Maay is SOmali but a different dialect and Raxanweyn people are a clan, not an ethnicity.

Af maay maay is classified as a different language. The only reason why Somalis can understand some of it is because of the adaption of Somali loan words in maay. The difference between Somali and maay is around the same as the difference between Portuguese and Spanish, closely related but not the same by any stretch.

Mudug is the standard dialect for somali so its obviously the easiest to understand and learn

Give me examples of these loanwords.

They are having difficulties with mayDHo

 

[Timo Jareer and proud]

Give me examples of these loanwords.

The words you understand when hearing maay be spoken.

 

[Gallant]

Af Maay is not a dialect at all.

 

[Abdisamad]

I can understand most maxaa tiri but sometimes I forget that different words have different meaning to diff dialects. I would kill a waqooyi man for calling me ‘shuun’ I don’t care if it means beautiful in his dialect

Shuunleey quruxleey

Your welcome, there's more where they came from

 

[Misil]

The words you understand when hearing maay be spoken.

Maybe they're cognates. And if you insist on them being lonewords, why can't the borrowing be from Maay to Maxaa?
