sharmarke91, the koonfur and waqooyi dialects are as much related as masaari and maqrebi dialects are in arabic a case in point: in the north, "qaska" is a harmless word that means "back"; yet, the word means "pus*y" or vagina in the south in that sense, these would qualify as dialect in that a dialect is "a particular form of a language that is peculiar to a specific region or social group"

it's true that northerners have difficulty pronouncing southern dialects (where the "r" generally becomes "dh"), but that doesn't mean the northerner is any less fake than the southerner. i wouldn't be surprised if the original language belonged to a group that had since disappeared. but the relationship between the north and south is expressed best in "waaq ooyi" (where waaq teared), "caabud waaq" (where waaq is worshipped), and "ceel waaq" (where waaq gave water). my grandmother used to tell me this story: that waaq was abandoned in the north, and the somalis came together in the middle and returned to god; and that in the south they were forgiven. (caabudwaaq is halfway between waqooyi and ceelwaaq, for those of you who may be geographically challenged lol)

by the way, the koonfur has many sub-dialects. for example, in mudug, someone might respond to a knock at the door with "waa qofma?" but in hiiraan such a person might say "ar yaawe adi?" on the other hand, a banaadiri might ask, "is-sheegbo yaa tehe?"

Keep talking out your ass walanweyn go suk on banana you tranny.

The Af Maay Maay is a mix of OROMO & Somali, the people who speak it are original OROMO. they were an early group that moved from the lakes and settled between the rivers and pushed deep inland and had more contacts with the Somalis, tru trade, assimilation, & accepted Islam then the GALA or OROMO who were pushed out/back of the Western regions Jigjiga area, Below the rivers in Galbeed, Jubbaland & NFD.

We need someone to study these languages, Gare, Tuni, Jido, May May, Barawani, Marka etc

They are all mixed with Oromo or Bantu the people they originate from or mixed with.

Most Somalis were Northern & Western and Somali clans were pushed by the OROMO/ GALLA from Western regions to the South & Northern Somali clans pushed the OROMO back to their Lands and deep into Southern Somalia/NFD , until we expanded again towards below the rivers in Galbeed, into the Jubbas & Gedo & NFD and met the Gallas who settled there for a while and pushed them out.

They most likely are.

Maay is closely related with the Jiido, Dabarre, Garre and Tunni languages that are also spoken by smaller Rahanweyn communities. Collectively, these languages present similarities with Oromo that are not found in mainstream Somali. Chief among these is the lack of pharyngeal sounds in the Rahanweyn/Digil and Mirifle languages, features which by contrast typify Somali. The retroflex /ɖ/ is also replaced by /r/ in some positions. Although in the past frequently classified as dialects of Somali, more recent research by the linguist Mohamed Diriye Abdullahi has shown that these varieties, including Maay, constitute separate Cushitic languages. They may thus represent traces of an Oromo substratum in the southern Rahanweyn confederacy.[6]

"These languages present similarities with Oromo" Well duh Oromo is cushtic language just like Somali so of course they are going to be similar. Also the reason why Maay sound different from af maxaa tiri it's because af maay has less influece from other languages like arabic etc...
