What Somali Accent/Dialect is the best?

[Manafesto]

This thread was inspired by @abdallah.

There is about 6 major Somali language dialects in the Horn, here is my personal idea about them.

1.Reer Xamar :accent soft, very feminine not suitable for males,sounds dumb, limited vocabulary same as the English spoken in the ghettos.

2.Reer Waqooyi Accent: Aggressive, hand gestures,defensive full of daragotry words and talktive in nature.

3.Reer Bari accent/Dialect. :modest, articulate,poetic and full of the old lost vocabulary.

4.Reer Mudug accent :classic,authoritative ,commanding and respectful.

5.Reer Galbeed accent: poetic and home of the classic Somali language they write on Somali books, suitable for story telling and literature.

6.South Western accent, copy cat of Somali Af maxaa tiri,they dragged and rinsed the holly language.

Isn’t 90% of the Somali poems and Gabays/MaahMaahs from Waqooyi.
Lets not forget the Qaraami.

Lets not forget Wariye Cawke and how he made the Somali Reporters copy his style

Bro I wanted to know what dialect most of the members here use and not which dialect is the best, I will ask the mods to change the title.

@Bohol can you please change the thread title into "What Somali accent/dailect do you guys have", I made a mistake.

Calm down. It was a lighthearted joke. Look at your descriptions again and you can see why I made that joke.

Reer NFD and Jubaland got a similar dialect as Reer Waqooyi

I also noticed that some dialects are just simpler than others and use less words to get their point across, for example

"bobsii lacagta keen hada"

You might here other people say it like
"si daqsa ah iminkana maalku iigusoo gacan-gili"

Reer Mudug dialect stays winning

Reer Hamar is the most easiest dailect to learn that is why most Say Walahis use it.

Reer Hamar : Aboowe beesada i bar nooh
Reer Bari : Boowe lacagta so wareeji hadda
Reer Waqooyi:War dhakhso xoolaha farta iga saar
Reer Mudug: Walaalo hantida gacanta ii soo geli
Reer Galbeed: Agah huuno dee kharashka keen

Reer Mudug: Walaalo hantida gacanta ii soo geli
Reer Galbeed: Agah huuno dee kharashka keen

I don’t think there’s a difference between Reer Galbeed and Reer Waqooyi

 

[Manafesto]

They are close but different, Reer waqooyi is more talktive and sound angry mostly while Galbeed are calm , Reer waqooyi also use hang gestures while Reer galbeed don't.
