Why do most southern singers sing in Woqooyi?

[Xamari_76]

Whats wrong with naturally dialect of singing?

1. Saynad labadagx
2. Abdulkadir Jubba
3. Abdulahai boqol

Ok so let me story up..im pretty sure there's more but...So i was at a party last year that's the year i was exposed to everything Somali...my friend was bugging to come with her to a Djiboutian Independence party..boqol sang did his thing..then later when the party finished we ended up speaking with him..my jaw dropped!!!!!! his accent totally changed..the same with jubba i heard him speak..and saynab laadagax whom ive also shes always at my cousins place..maybe i should i ask her next time i see her without making it sound rude...but what is this some kind of expectation or what

[BaasAbuur]

Boqol has reer Waqooyi accent? WTF, he sounded like a typical habargedir to me. Jubba also sounds somewhat reer mudug but I don't Seynab Labadhagax. I think the issue here is that many of you from the northwest region have this idea of everyone from the south sounding like they grew up in Shangaani.

correction..they all sing in northern dialect..and didn't say that they speak it in there everyday lives but they sure don't sing in it..

What northern dialect?

Zaynab Labadhagax is from Sanaag.

Boqol is a mugdi mudugian.

[Xamari_76]

Saynab interview


Not discriminating against anyone i love these artists just a bit puzzled. Saynab labadagx

I have met zaynab labadhagax. She is a good friend of my mom. She is dir from Sanaag. Sanaag is not uniform. Just because they don't sound like a person from hargeisa doesn't mean they are not from where they are.

BTW the standard somali is from Gobolada dheexe. Everything is a few standard deviation points away.

i know shes dir her and my cousins are really tite...i just didn't wanna mention her qabil..OK shes from sannag but she defiantly doesn't sound like one lets leave it there. Sannagians speak pure af woqooyi.

I thought you just said they sing in Waqooyi? I think you are a bit confused. These people sound like and sing like people from the regions they are from. It is just that you are not very familiar with all the accents spoken in Somalia and now you are puzzled because waxaad tahay qof dhaga xiran.

A lot of the singers may sound to you like they are singing in reer waqooyi accent but they are not. Some of them sing songs that were written by reer waqooyi writers so the words are just probably familiar to you since you are reer waqooyi like the writers.

The ppl from waqooyi or as we call them qaldaan and esp. those who have never been to Xamar just assume things they know nothing of.

Sainab laba dhagax, Jubba were born and brought up in Xamar, hence their af somali that sounds reer koonfur to you, but when it comes to singing..
There is no such thing as reer north type of singing or even language..except for minor details and words.. af somali is af somali..
And the most correct somali comes (as agreed upon by most of somali linguists) Mudug.. everything else is either north or south.. and thats how it is in almost all the nations of the world who speak in one language but different dialects..

Qansa is right. From what I have seen, according to 90% of the Isaaq kids on this site you are using "Waqooyi" if you don't talk/sing like this:

[Voltage]

Well that's what you're looking for aint it? That's your perception of how non-Waqooyi's talk so maaha? Sometimes its good to see our ignorance placed right before us.

Proper Somali is spoken in Hawdka where all the great Somali poets hailed from everything else is just a bastardized version of Somali.
