The use of Slang Somali is more popular in Backhome than in the west.

Saaxiibow naga qalee nooh,
Saxiibow iga gembiso nooh,
Maxaa isku dhacaayaa? Laughing Laughing


People in the West who speak broken Somali are two categories;

1. Kids who are born in those countries and are trying very hard to speak the Somali language. Those, we should encourage them.

2. People like Basra who are qaxooti; (Flight 01 or flight 91) who are trying very hard to deny their heritage Evil or Very Mad But those we should laugh at them Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing
