I am trying to find difference between Somaliland langauge and Somalia.

[Johnny B]

Why only what we Somalis call it... what about 'you' 'qaldans'?, what do you call it?

[Siciid1986]

For southerners whats the plural for "GABADH" female in Somali

quite ironic that qaldan means wrong

Indeed saxib, indeed

 

Why is 'kh' changed to 'q'? Yacni 'Khalad' is said and spelt as 'qalad'? Ya akhi is ya aqi???

[Johnny B]

^Norf & co .... We're supposed to speak Somali, not 'Af-Qaldan'.

Gebaryaal!!

[Cawaale]

Norf, there is no "kh" in af soomaali, try to get one word oo "KH" ka bilowdo in pure Af-soomali.

 

khilaaf, Khamiir etc..

 

 

For southerners "Har" is shadow, but the Northerners they call it "Hadh" while "Har" to them is a lake. laakin taas aya ku saxan.

LOL...What is percentage of Soomali laans in overall Somali population?

[peasant]

War bugaagta af khaldaan lagumo qori jirin ee lahjada gobolada dhexe ayaa lagu qori jiray iyadana ah lahjada saxda ah.

[Blessed]

Personally, I grew up exposed to both so I've no problems understanding either dialects.

 

The issue of misunderstanding here is not of dialects or regions. it's clear that some of you af Somaaliga dhan aa jiq idinku ah, dee.

 

 

 

p.s It's not two langauges but two dialects from the same language. There's no such thing as af reer waqooyi/ koonfur those dialects aren't like Af May or Af Baraawe which have different phonological structures to Af Somaali.
