Let us scrutinise the Oromos.

[Tallaabo]

I am sure this thread will inflame the Xaaji and induce a tirade prejudice from others like Oba and Haatu but let us take some time to learn more about this Somali-like nation next door. For a start, the very obvious similarities between the Somalis and the Oromos are their distinct looks, their dress, their culture, religion and now after a short academic study of their Youtube clips I am of the opinion that they speak a dialect of Somali. I mean when I listened to them attentively, very attentively I could almost hear them speak a weird Somali. For a Northerner like me, their language sounds Somali but is just as hard to understand as Maay Maay. Here is one such clip for you to look at:

 

[Che -Guevara]

It could be speak weird Oromo dialect?

 

Haha@academic study

[Tallaabo]

^ You have got a point. May be we are the ones who speak a corrupted version of their language.:confused:

[Jacaylbaro]

Aboo, akam bultee ?? ,,, Afaan oromo ni beekhaa ,, maal yatee ??

[Tallaabo]

^ Alla ninku waa Oromada Hargaysa nagu haysata:mad:

Edit: In this Topix thread, one Oromo guy is claiming that the entire H@wiye clan is actually a sub-clan of Babiile Oromo. Hallelujah;)

Why are we discussing an Ethiopian language in here?

[Haatu]

What is the meaning of this profanity :mad: (this level of prejudice good enough tallaabo-xume?)

 

I have nothing against the Oromo, the Muslim ones are the same to me like the rest of the ummah, no different than a Hausa nigerian to me. The gaalos I am indifferent to them. What I do have a problem is their encroachment.

[Samafal]

^What encroachment are you talking about? I hate when people speak for the sake of it. War Oromoda waa ayeeyinkiin qabiil Somaliyeed oo Oromoo naago ka guursan ma jirto. Xataa Somalida markay la diri jireen naag badan baa laga soo qafaalan jireen as concubines,qaar kalana waa la guursan jiray marka ancestorkiina faraha ka qaada yaysan idinku soo guurayne

Weligaaba is indhatir oo dumar iyo wax aan loo joogin ka hadal. Berrito markey Dire Daawa Oromia lagu daro ha calaacalin.

[Wadani]

Haatu, hadda iyagaaba majority ku ah Dira Dhabe. I think it's like 65% Oromo to 35% Somali.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

^^ And these people think those expansionists are their brothers cajiib

I'm also not sure why people seem to think the geographies and settlement patterns we see today are fixed, unchanging realities, and the way things have always been. What you think is a Somali city today may not have been one 200 years ago. Our people (with a few exceptions) are traditionally nomadic, and we've taken over lands too, including Oromo lands. What do you think Galkacyo means?
