Even if you figure out how to perfectly mimic a regional accent, they will know, even the way people walk and carry themselves exposes their qurba joognimo.

You might as well keep your current accent, you're going to sound fake because you won't be able to develop native like control of an accent at your age.

 

I'd like to think that I have a hard core Burcawi accent buy mummy dearest says I sound Qoti?! :(

MMA, I tried to get Alpha to do it once and he chickened out.

 

SP, go ahead and I'll follow you. You have my word on it. Then Oba will do his Yeey impersonation again :D

It would be really fun to hear everyone's spoken voice, knowing we all have different ways of speaking not only Somali, but English :) It should be a standard few sentences everyone reads so the differences can be heard easily, I think.

War I will not post my voice!!!! Actually I will when I finish the tale between SP and Safferz's mother, in which I post the audio book in the cantarbaqash corner

 

I am inclined to develop a woqooyi accent. I rather not develop an accent of my paternal lineage, too predictable eh?
