Cultural and Language differences

Post by BoholKing »

Pretty interesting article. According to this article the only thing this two cities have in common is religion, how many of you agree?
discuss moderately.

I understood everything he said so how can i if he is speaking a next language. Xamar and Hargeisa is like London and Birmingham one speaks faster than the other so if anything it is more like Baidoa vs Xamar Mai Terreh vs Maxaa Tiri.

Sameway Norwegians, Danish and Swedish can understand each other sometimes but it doesn't mean the language is 100% the same. There is many
words only used in SL, similarly many words only used in the south. However May May as highlighted is completely different language.

There is difference of many words and speaking another language for example Norwegians Danish and Swedish are like Holland and Germany they have different languages but they can still communicate a bit it is like the Mai Terreh vs Maxaa Tiri.

In Birmingham Liverpool or even Manchester there are words spoken there where a Londoner wont understand. Language changes when the speakers become distant from each other. Also the Somali language that was spoken pre Islam era is way different from what we are speaking now and that is because languages evolve when different people come into to contact with each other whether through trade or other things :up:

How can you compare the difference between Birmingham and London with that of Hargeisa and Mogadishu? Brummies and Londoners can understand
each other perfectly, there is no wide gap in the vocabulary they use, it is their accent that is different not the vocabulary. Were's in the case of Hargeisa
and Mogadishu it is not only the accent but also the vocabulary they use, hundreds of different words only used in those areas. So it is different. Had
you said it is like the difference between Australia and England you would have made more sense, but even then there is no much gap in the vocabulary
they use compared to Sland and the south.


A prime example of the wide gap vocabulary difference between Slanders and southerners. Accent is not the only thing they are different in.

What is the nugaaleed accent? Are you making things up now. All Somaliland natives speak Waqooyi accent, they may vary by small margin but it is still
Waqooyi accents. There is no southern accents within Somaliland population in Sland hence why Somaliland and the deep south are very different in terms
of accents and vocabulary. Not all Somalis are nomads, southerners are largely farmers, this is not about blood but cultural and language differences residing
in the same geographical area. Somaliland tradional dances are Jandheer, Zeylici, southern traditional dances are niiko, shrib, goobile, walaqayso etc. They are
very much different in many ways.

lol What About The Reer Bari Accent ? ..

The Reer Mudug Accent ?

The Abgaal Accent?

The Gedo Accent? ....

etc...etc..

Goobile, shirib, zaylici, Jaandheere are Just Different styles of Nomad Dances ..

Niiko Is From the Jareer Somalis In Around Xamar, and is Not Really A Somali Culture, They Dont do Niiko In Mudug, Gedo, Bari etc...

And Yes Somaliland Has Two Distinctive Accents ... Which Are The"Huuno" Accent which Is Spoken In Galbeed and The More Aggresive Bari Accent...

Which native population speaks those accents you listed in Somaliland? Somaliland does have galbeed and bari accents but both of those are Waqooyi
accents, they can understand each other perfectly compared to may may or southern accents like Benadiri. Niiko is widespread in south Somalia not just
Mogadishu, it is native to Middle Shabelle, Hiiraan, Lower Shabelle etc. That is my point, neither Goobile or Shrib are native to Somaliland they are
southern dances. I am from Sool and Sanaag and we do Jandheer like all other residents of those regions and other places in Somaliland.

In Awdal/Gebiley They Have This Huuno Huuno Type Accent ... Huuno Is Not Used In Bari lol

Niiko Is Not Originally A Somali Tradition, It Was Brought To The Somali Region By The Jareer People From Tanzania etc..etc..

Lol I Understand Waqooyi People Perfectly When They Speak ... Btw Why Don't You Start Typing In Your "Waqooyi Accent" and I'll Start Typing In The So Called "Konfurian Accent"

And Lets See If We Can Understand Each Other .. Haye Dheh lol

Huuno is just one word just like walalo, but all the other vocabulary they use is the same as other Somalilanders, in no way can it be compared to the wide gap of
difference between mainstream Somalilanders and southerners. It doesn't matter whether it is originally Somali or not, the southerners have adopted it and made
it their traditional dance. They even welcomed foreign dignitaries once by doing niiko in Mogadishu, it is deeply engraved in their culture. So why don't you answer
the question which native population in Somaliland speaks Gedo, Benadiri and other southern accents in Somaliland?
