Re: Which Somali Gobol has the most diverse dialects/languages?
A/C: From the link:
"Alternate Names: Af-Maay, Af-Maay Tiri, Af-May, Af-Maymay, Rahanween, Rahanweyn Dialects: Af-Helledi. May be more than 1 language; dialects form a continuum. Within the Maay dialect continuum, at least two dialect groupings may be discerned, largely between the Digil clans (e.g, Wenle Weyn) and the Mirifle clans (based on Bay Bakool). The Digil consider themselves the “royal clan class” of the Maay-speaking Rahanweyn. Somali [som] is difficult or unintelligible to Maay speakers, except when learned through mass communications, urbanization, and internal movement. Different sentence structure and phonology from Somali. Af-Helledi is a Maay secret language used by hunters. Classification: Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Somali Comments: Little travel. Muslim."

A/C,
No. That's from the link. Suggest you read it. There is also a Somali language map available at the same site.

It's hard to say which gobol is most diverse because the divisions are not marked and are actually questionable. The old J/Hoose is neither the current one nor the one defined by Siad Barre.

Whoa there buddy, I never said Jubada Hoose is THE answer, for all I know the Shabeeleda Hoose might be the answer. But I'm against is the claim that Af-May May is a entirely different language from Af-Soomaali.Grant wrote:A/C,

Rile up? Have some respect for people you immature piece of shit. Everyone of your replies on this site is disrespectful. No one here is your punching bag. Its obvious you're having a bad day everyday.
This is a topic about dialects. No need for your negative bullshit. Look at the way you're speaking to people
There's no derailing anything. You ruined it with your disrespectful tone.

Re: Which Somali Gobol has the most diverse dialects/languages?
I don't know what he means exactly but if its about a region that you could find all the northern and southren dialects in it, it has to be hiiraan
Never seen such a region that has own dialect in every corner like hiiraan
