The dialect switch-up game

[BlackVelvet]

We've got 3 main dialects represented here on SNet: Af Nooh, Af Ad-adeeg, Af Dee

Marka it goes like this, each category writes down a paragraph (a few lines) which contain all their hardcore words that are quintessentially them. Then those not from the region record themselves reading out said paragraph



For example reer Nooh: This is the first draft of our pragraph.

I think it should contain the words: Bushkuleeti, Okiyaalo, Armaajo, Musqul, Abkoow, Mandhoow/eey etc. We write one sentence each, each containing as many Nooh words as possible then when it's complete, reer Dee or Ad Adeeg can record themselves trying to read it. They have to pronounce all the R's and we have to pronounce the Dh's

So first line of our story goes:

1. Ewelki hore waxaa jiri jirte gabar yar, magaceedi moxoo ahay Isnineey.


Let the games begin. make it as difficult for them as possible

1. Ewelki hore waxaa jiri jirte gabar yar, magaceedi moxoo ahay Isnineey.

[GeoSeven]

Before I jump in, what's af ad-adeeg?

[Vivacious]

Walaaley ha I ceebeynin. "Awalkii" dheh

[Lillaahiya]

Isniino bajaq shidan bey ahayd, shukaalatina camal


p.s. none of you caught the moxoo ahay

[BlackVelvet]

Geo I think north of Hiiraan, I don't think anyone here speaks a proper reer Hiiran dialect but it would still count as Nooh. All the way up to the point where people start saying Dee and switching R with Dh. So I know Mudug/Galgaduud - Nugaal/Bari/Togdheer I am not sure where they fall. The people who are from there can decide. That is Af Ad Adeeg.

1. Ewelki hore waxaa jiri jirte gabar yar, magaceedi moxoo ahay Isnineey.

All of that is correct af Nooh.

Af Dee people get started hee

[Insomniac]

Isniino bajaq shidan bey ahayd, shukaalatina camal


p.s. none of you caught the moxoo ahay

I thought bajaq meant gay. Once, my friend pointed out someone from a crowd of people and said, "blimey! look at that bajaq". I turned around shocked and asked him if he was gay. We has a few fists full of words with each other and laughed about the misunderstanding in the hospital.

[Lillaahiya]

I use to think so too until I read ppl calling women bajaq

1. Ewelki hore waxaa jiri jirte gabar yar, magaceedi moxoo ahay Isnineey.

All of that is correct af Nooh.

Af Dee people get started hee

Even in af Nooh a masculine noun doesn't suddenly become feminine.

[skywalker25]

Naa hee dhee..

[FarhanYare]

I use to think so too until I read ppl calling women bajaq

[BlackVelvet]

Naa hee dhee..

Here is the first af Dee sentence. Lillahiya ama qof kale the second one ku dar.

Even in af Nooh a masculine noun doesn't suddenly become feminine.

You can't correct your team mate's grammar, you have to brave on.


btw the grammar is not incorrect. Ewelki hore, that is one part of the sentence, waxaa jiri jirte is in reference to the gabar yar. Marka mandhoow aan kuu duceeye sii wad sheekada.

[Keyblade]

I would if af Pidgin was a choice.

[BlackVelvet]

I would if af Pidgin was a choice.

Now I understand why he does it

[Tuushi]

I think Abakar or Twist would do the nooh is very well.
