Thank you but I think that was a very wadaani and sax thing to do, the events that happened after in no way tarnish the spirit of that choice. It's something all Somalis should be proud of

That's the thing, if I call you qaldaan, you can call me khaldaan. Adiga markaa waad isla saxsantahay aniga nah sidoo kale

Some have other theory which is: the forefather of qaldaamiinta was born by mistake(zina sin).

This is a dead issue. Accents are supposed to differ according to regions. It's like that all over the world including tiny states such as Holland.

'it sounds wrong' isn't going to cut it.

There is no some in that theory, you made that up yourself, sad enough to not even say it on your own, you create a mystical some to help you say it with you.

Qaladaan is not offensive that's just silly
Do you mean to offend when you say it though

If you think tamaadho is funny,you should hear how Oromos have corruptd it even more timaantima

Stop messing up the thread

There so many names for both groups.

BV, Do you find the following names offensive for the Ex Italian Somalia people?

Why would that be offensive every Somali is refferred to as Somalian including yourself

Koonfurian isn't offensive and I don't even know what Walanweyn means, does that mean crazy? If so yes it's offensive.

CaliG that's why I say it, that's how I understand it, for me that's what it means - so haye answer the question. Misee does it have some profound deeply offensive meaning that I don't know. Like I wouldn't say boon because I know it's supposed to be offensive but I'd say Cagdheer or Iljeex because it's no big deal. I want to know which category qaldaan falls into.

BV it is sorted then, you call us qaldaamiin we'll call you reer khaldaanka

to answer your question, the word qaldaan is not offensive at all. The people who use it only use it for banter.

The more accents and dialects the richer the language is

qaldaan means a lowly peasant :s its offensive

Its offensive to some. Its best to not use it at all

I am,
