Koonfurian isn't offensive and I don't even know what Walanweyn means, does that mean crazy? If so yes it's offensive.
don't know the definition of Walanweyn just who it is directed too
Then I suggest you get your ears checked.

I didn't know Walanweyn came from that. I did wonder why they picked on that tuulo out of all the others, just assumed it was because of the funny nameNavy9 wrote:SimplySerene wrote:Non Somalis people will use either Somali or Somalian on any Somali.

If I recall how someone explained it, Wanlaweyn is a small town some where near Mogadishu and during a referendum that took place in 1960s, the vote count that came from Wanlaweyn was a lot higher compared to the real population size, that is how it all started. Then it transferred from referring to the fraudulent poll outcome to generalizing it to mean Southerners.
Qaldan I do not think it is offensive and I wonder if that term existed before 1960s. I was told when the Northerners went to Mogadishu after the union since it was the center of everything back then. People of Mogadishu referred them as such since they talked differently.
So, one group referring Southerners as practicing corrupt politics and the Southerners returning the favor by describing them as having a corrupted language is nothing but an old school of nomad love sharing.
