It is good to see our space alive and kicking!!! So I read that Ogaden clans and their degaans in Tallo's thread and I came to think about this question:
Which is more in Somalia Maxamed Subeer vs Cawlyahan?

I would say Cawlyahan easily because of sheer volume of the cities they exclusively live. Remember Kismaayo is for all Ogs and it is possible Reer Cabdille make up the majority. But look at the Beesha Cawlyahan cities in Somalia:
Bakool:
Ceel Barde
Yeed
Shimbiraale
Tiyegloow
Rabdhuure

J/Dhexe
Buaale --about 15% Bartire but majority are Cawlyahan
Saakow
Salagle
Jilib--about 50% Cawlyahan

Gedo
Baardheere
Faafax-Dhuun--Faafax Dhuun oo cudha mari Afmadow ka cabaay halaale

Reer Cabdille
Afmadow
Dhoobley
Taabta
Diif
Qooqaani
Did I miss any cities?

Cawlyahan has more presence in Somalia than Maxamed Subeer...

Cawlyahan are good peoples. The ones I've met spoke afmay.

Ali Saleban has a sub clan named Cawlyahan too.

Cawliyahan are majority both in NFD and Somalia
cos MZ reside in Lower Jubba and Wajir while Cawliyahan reside in Middle Jubba, Gedo and Bakool and Garissa and Liboi.

The reason why Cawliyahan have large extensive land is they are camel herders as compared to MZ who are cattle herders.

Guuhaad... Anu ma filayo inuu Absame dego Gobolka Gedo, waynu degi jirnay, Laakiin eeegah ma degno, waynu soo banaynay dhulkaas, ee dib haloogu noqdo.

Cawlyahan are mostly in Bakool & middle Jubba. No Absame in Jilib from what I recall, our livestock could never survive in such tropical climate with high rainfall & precipitation.

Camels & even cows need semi-arid land with not a whole of rain. Jamaame & Jilib are strictly farming communities. Mostly Bantus, Sheikhaal, Jidu, Tuni, etc live there.

What would Guhad know about Jubooyinka, he is from Wardheer.

since it's mostly reer abdille it'd more correct to say reer abdille vs cawlyahan. there not that many reer isaaq living outside of ogadenia and the west.

as for who's more numeral - i can't say for sure but i think it's reer abbdille.

who asked you for this?
nijas yahow awal shegato aha.

From what I gather there are 4 sub sub clans of Ogaadeen.

Maxamed subeer
-reer abdille (Jubbayinka)
-reer issaq (Ogaadeenia)

Makahiil? (Wardheer, Ogaadeenia)

Cawlyahan (Jubooyinka)

Cabudwaaq (NFD)

correct me if I am wrong.

Actually have an uncle that lives in Afmadow, former Battalion army.
Reer Cabdille ;D

Guhaad jaanis fiican bay haystaan nimanka Cawlyahan, waxaana u malaynayaa inay baryahan dambe aad ugu mashquulsan yihiin say u midayn lahayeen beesha Cawlyahayn.

Lasocona waa reerka kaliya ee aan kala go´nayn Ogadenka Yacni dhulkoodu wuu isku yaal.
