af waqooyi is the most accurate af somali afterall every poet was from there

Those are not mutually exclusive arguments.

The waqooyi and Benadiri maxaa tiri are not the basis of the modern Somali language as the current Somali we speak today is actually from Mudug, which is in between both regions.

basically wardheer was a historic intercrossing of different darod clans. standard somali is based around wardheer north galkayo abudwaq.

Wuqooyi = poetry
Mudug = Spoken language
Koonfur = Comedy

My point is standard somali (ie language used by SL/FGS/PL etc, schools etc) is the mudug dialect of Somali because it encompasses everybody.

If you were to read a Somali textbook or watch television, odds are it is Mudug Somali or slightly tweaked version of Mudug Somali to fit the specific region.
 
Cause English is more of a universal language than Somali, and most people here know English better than Somali.

Ninyo I disagree
Poetry comes from Wuqooyi but Comedy and sketches defo from Koonfur
Awkuuku and Awkoombe and all shacitiro is from the south.
Also the spoken language and qaamuus/dictionary is from Mudug as confirmed by @Periplus
Law and order from my maternal hometown Awdal

Why would we communicate in Af-Somali when most of us didn't grow up in Somalia and our English skills are better than our Af-Somali?

We aren't speaking English out of coonery, just efficiency.

Lol first and foremost you’re not english and however good you speak their language yall never be one. And secondly alot of foreigners from other cultures are born in the diaspora but speak their native language.
