Isaaq are dir, you should have digir and mirifle on there instead. Dir and hawiye are samaaleÂ…brothers.
Sheikhaal are hawiye
Eelaay are digil and mirifle and are therefore Somali
Tunni are also Somali and I mean tribally just like the other madhibaan/midgaan clans. I heard they are also related to the samaale if not part of the samaale.
The jareer/Bantu are Somali by nationality – not Somalian(there is no such thing). They are no different to the barawani and other groups that are not really part of the real Somali tribe.
Anyway, this all does not matter because in the modern world all that is for the history books and family trees nothing more. Nationalism is the way forward and soon enough the fabric that holds the tribal system together will be no more.
