it says Mogadisgu, the actual place is different.
since mogadishu is english way to spell it we must adopt the real one aka somali version without change just like any other places. Muuq Disho or Muq Disho.

You object to the English way of spelling yet you advocate using their letters/scripts to write your way.
It's like saying bakhtiga ma cunee fuudkiisaan cabaa

Ps I know it's Latin script just saying

Mogadishu/kismayu sounds too weird
Mogadiscio sounds too colonial-ly

It's called Xamar thank you very much. Muqdisho, Mogadishu and the rest are all foreign.

I have noticed most of Northerners refer it to as "Xamar" more than Muqdisho. That's why you lot get confused when we say ree xamar pple are this or that, some even assuming that we are talking about Xamar cad cad folks when we just mean like Ree xamar; someone from Xamar, a Xamaraawi just like Hargeisaawi, Boramaawi or Burcaawi!

@Itrah, some interesting Italian names for Somali cities you wrote there.
