Somaliland vs Somalia vs Naxar

 

Balaadhan - Balaaran

 

Laxoox - Canjeero

 

Mudalab - Kabar-yeeri- don't know what either one means

 

Beed - Ukun

 

Kalluun - Mallaay

 

Xabxab - Qarre

 

Muqumad - Oodkac

 

Hagbad - Ayuuto

 

Xabuub - Yaanyo- tamaando

 

Saaka - Saakey- Saakey sounds like a deep xamary word, I think most Somalis say Saaka

 

Waaryaa - Arrey- again xamary

 

Kimis - Mallawax- sabaid god help my somali spelling lol

 

Sibidh - Shamiito- Sibir

 

Xadhig - Xarig- makes absolutely no difference

 

Ayeeyo - Abooto- never heard anyone in my entire life use abooto

 

Digaag - Dooro!

 

Bisad - Yaanyuur- I have members of the family who have confused mukul and ukuun lol

 

Madbakh - kijo- both

 

Tarmuus - Tallaagad but also heard flass

 

Shukumaan - Tuweel- tuwaal

 

 

lastly, everyone in the family calls the bathroom something different-suli, musqul, xamam but one we use and I've never heard was baidel-maid and something I laterally learned the other day was there is a southern word different baby powder, something along the lines bolbare
