af reer xamar... but not the "Minikaan minkaaga waaye" nore the Abgaal " waa ka dul boodowhaaya" but like the mugadishu style.. i assume Koronto would call my accent..

Im also very familiar with af mudug and find it really easy and straight forward which i guess evry one would agree Cool

Galbeed with a dash of the Waqooyi accent.

I think the Waqooyi accent is standard Somali since it is used as the medium on the BBC Somali Service.

You're mistaken. Check this:

BBC Somali: Madaxweynaha wuxuu yiri...

Waqooyi accent: Madaxweynaha wuxuu yidhi...
