Somali can mean ethnicity or nationality, which is why people are a bit confused. Thats why the country should be called something other than somalia because there are people there that arent somali ethnically e.g. barwaanis.

An example would be a country like iran. The vast majority of "iranians" are persians ethnically. Then there are other ethnic groups like kurds, arabs turkmen etc. Somalia needs to change the name of the country then it will be less confusing, but that aint gonna happen; why would the majority change the name of their country to appease the minority?

Somalis (ethnic)

Isaaq
Dir
Hawiye
Darood
Digil/Midhifle
Tumaal/Madhibaan/Midgaan.etc

What-ever is left over arent somalis ethnically but nationality wise they are, e.g 'Somali' bantu

^ I was told there were only 5 major Somali clans, the rest aren't really Somali.

If your father is somali then you are somali, you are whatever your father is and what his father was etc.
Btw everyone who originates in somalia is somali, whether they are madhibaan, jareer, cad cad other others.

[military-mind]

if your Hooyo is Somali iyo your father is something else then... You are SOMALI thats if your Hooyo is Yahudiya(jew)

Tw, i wanted to ask you some thing.

my cousin recently married some one and they said she is: qandarshow. wa ayo qoladas?

Gendershe are Sheekhaal of Marka/Shabelle Hoose/Benaadir who mixed with the reer Xamar.

Btw Somali is not a nationality because the Somali identity (ethnic Somali people) preceded the Somali nationality (Somalia). So the country was named after its people. This is why any Somali born anywhere in the world, be it from Siberia to Mexico is a Somali but a Ugandan or a French national cannot go to Somalia, get Somali "citizenship" and become "Somali".
