Lol grant is generalizing and caring about this region bc it has an imported bantu minority thinking of them they r not somalis

Reer waqooyis would do any thing to proof that somalia is not a homogeneous country forgetting that their equivalents are the samaale clans not the sab who had no identity problems except calling for federalism since the 40s wich is understandible

Af maay is a pure somali dialect, the only difference is about two things; having uncommon farming vocab....this is normal bc the people in miyiga have their own uncommon vocab too

The second difference is about the pronounciation, maay has totally different pronounciation and gramatically is closer to the banadiri dialect

Here is our speaker, dont tell me that you dont understand him and if you do you need to take one lesson in maay!

Hebel hebel ma dhahaayo ee kurtigiin waad salaaman tihiin....dadkeyga waa dad af gaaban oo dawladnimada jecel iyo in la dhex dego.......dhalinyaro iyo odayaal, caamo iyo culimo...markey federalka bilaabeen aniga ma dhalan

First, it was Bantus. Now is the May speaking Somalis. Who is next?

Clearly, outside forces have an agenda to continuously divide the Somalis.

Is this Maay or Afan Oromo song?



I am almost certain this is Maay. I understand every third word or so.



The lyrics to this song is so foreign to me. What is it say?

lol no hes pro-bantuzation

I respect grant as a guest of the forum, hes old man...worked in afgooye, jilib and kismayo in the 70s lol

But he depends on a somali bantu writer....this writer thinks that the abgaal, banadiri, gugundhabe and maay dialects being closer to each other than the rest of the somali dialects in an attempt to divide the maxaa tiri dialect first and then....

even in the arab world, the same arabic vocab r not used in the same way.

EG: shaaric-street- for mashriq arabic and nahj for maghrib arabic...iclaan vs ish-haar etc.

When iise soldiers arrived beledweyne they used to say: " waar ka biriq" and the people were like what?

Of course they know what means biriq lakin as a verb here it means dhaaf ama mar quickly

Now the maay dialect has the same somali words but they use it in a different way

EG: hirka-cirka- ka dheeda ...wax cirka ka soo dhididay! Yacni wax cirka ka yimid!

they share more common words with reer koonfur like roogtaan-joogtaan-

There r few key maay words that you must know and then you will understand it, also must pay attention to its pronounciation and then you will know that its a fking somali dialect not a different language

check out this video

Caalam ka roogto. Aduunka ka joogtid
La eree-la yiraa, la dhahaa-
Maay ko doho-af maay lagu dhaho-
Maay ko dahaaynay-af maay ko soo dhahnay-
Maay ka kooytey-maxay ama waxay ka timid
Maay araay-maxaa ama waxaa li yiraahdaa-
Maay ki higee-maxaa ama waxa ko xiga
Maay ka efeefanay-maxey ama waxa ka afeefantey, bilaabatey

Lankoo-lan means nin.nin koo, lanki-ninkii
Wala-wax- budada amaloo ka dhah jira baruda

Wether or not it is a Somali language is irrelevant. Somalia needs to claim it's homogeneous country

Moryaan go to hell xamar nothin but cheating, lieing, stealing, killing, extortion all that moryaan anarchy is what somalia is based on that's why that homogeneous excuse doesn't help with unity because all the other africa countries more diverse are way more posperious than yours
