What i do notice is that Puntland kids always 90% speak with a reer xamar accent i have never seen a Puntland youth that speaks the strong bari or mudug accent
90% Really nigga? You must have ran into sheegatos.

Doesn't make you any less Somali if you don't speak Af-Soomaali, and if it makes you feel good I don't speak it either. Sleep well children, and keep your chins up.

I don't there is wrong with some people not speaking Somali especially people who were born and grew up in the west who can't really help it, but there is wrong with some people who think speaking Somali is something badownimo and they try so hard to avoid speaking Somali because of their Inferiority Complex or they think speaking only in English language is ilbaxnimo. I tend to see this trait most often in FOBs.

I recall watching a video taking in Burco where the locals couldnt say their phone numbers correctly using somali words whilst they could in English. That taken place in Somalia/Somaliland I thought it was disgraceful to be honest.

War ninhow, Af somalika si fican bad ku hadly kara, lakiin sida la qora ba wax wayen iqo tahy.

Af Somali is so difficult to learn especially the northern straight accent, I learned Arabic as my first language and it was really easy, than English came natural, I was listening to Akon konvict Album in the 8th grade :up: Just write the name of the song you want followed by lyrics on youtube and walaha!

I was getting straight A's in English ever since. :mrgreen:

As for Somali......... that's a story in it's own :roll:
I'm Xidhanyahay they isiideyn waayeen English cashars :lol:

It's gone too far :pac:

I understand if u were born or raised here and can't speak Somali, but what gets me is, Somalis that have only been in Qurbaha for 10yrs that act like they don't speak Somali.

Like u ask them something in Somali, and they are like "I am sorry, I don't speak Somali" with a thick Somali accent. It's funny as hell.
