Do all Majerteen speak with a Mudug accent?

[paidmonk]

My mom speaks with a mudug accent even though her family has never seen mudug, when her ancestors migrated out of Puntland, they came directly from nugaal back when her sub-clan didn't even reside in mudug. Strange thing is that my mom's mother (the only northerner in the family) brought the mudug accent but she's not even from mudug but born in eyl and journied throughout nugaal, never saw mudug.

Any explanation? and beyond mudug & galguduud, where else is the accent spoken?

[sheekh-Farax-zero]

Reer-mudug?Nugaal speak same accent but reer-bari speak deferent accent.
you wouln't see reer-mudg/Nugaal using the word (BOOWE).

[paidmonk]

So people in Nugaal speak with a Mudug accent? Its understandable since the majority of Cumar Maxamud today were reer nugaal just 150 years ago.

i like to think so.

Nugaal/Mudug is pretty much the same land wise, there isn't much of a difference. Both herdsmen/pastoralists.


But I do hear Cisse Maxmuud have a funny accent, and I heard it one time from a Youtube video, from a lady protester in Garowe who was protesting Cadde Musse


Btw, what was Cisse Maxmuud's problem with Cadde? lol

It's not an accent, it's a dialect. Nugaaleed MJs basically speak the same dialect as Mudug MJs, which is just the Reer Mudug dialect, the standard Somali dialect used by the late governments and media.


Reer Nugaaleed have a few differences with Reer Mudug, such as saying halakan instead of halkan, or qofkakan instead of qofkan, or meeshatan instead of meeshan etc...you get the point.

To be honest, the only thing I know about reer Mudug dialect is the emphasis on nouns. Instead of 'warya' its 'war heedhe.'

To be honest, the only reason I said my granny's dialect is Mudug is because I filtered out the other dialects I know of.

-She's in no shape or form a Qaldaan, so that's out
-She's never had anything to do with Xamar so no go there
-She's no sort of cad-cad or maay-maay folk so she can't be speaking those funny sub-languages
-She doesn't speak that funny lightning fast whole-sentence-summed-up-in-one-long-word reer Waamo talk like the rest of my older family members
-This left Mudug only and I can't imagine that empty Bari region of 30,000 ppl to have its own unique dialect during my grandma's days
-Which in turn left me thinking that nugaal is part of greater Mudug since for some strange reason the Dhullos in nugaal didn't absorb the qaldaan culture of their westward sub-clans

Murax,

it's just a little stretching of a few words that's all. Inta kale, Reer Nugaaleed speak the same as Reer Mudug.

Ninyaho answer this for Me. How come the Hawiye that live in Mudug still speak that Hawiye talk Man.

Waan geyha, Waan imaha etc.

That's from galguduud and downwards. That imaahaa crap annoys me, it sounds like they haven't eaten for days and have no energy.

Our Sacads don't speak like that, they've been trained so well. Good communication between a master and his servant is important ninyahow.
