Xidh is the pure unadulterated Somali way of saying it, 'xir' was made by the Italians along with 'nooh' and 'leeh'.

wtf is qaldaan


if your version of Somali is correct, why is Somaliland version used as the official formal Somali by all Somalis from Somalia to Ethiopian region, nfd to Djibouti. Why do all good Somali poets come from Somaliland region, why is the master of Somali language hadraawi speaking in Somaliland dialect.
