I view my command of the somali language/dialects as being "good" but I must admit I have never heard of the word "imbaayooyin". Could you explain it please?

Thanks, where is that "dialect" spoken? Hiiraan? I have been to Beledweyne, Jalalaqsi and Buulo Burde but I have never heard someone say those words. Maybe in Ceel gaalI view my command of the somali language/dialects as being "good" but I must admit I have never heard of the word "imbaayooyin". Could you explain it please?
Imbaay = Sister (Abaayo)
imbaayooyin = Sisters


Imboow Sahal, ma reer Hiiraan yaa tahay?
its only used by hawadle, we say imboowe, imbaayo. it sounds like umbaaydeey, umboowgeey, umaaydeey of lower shabeele.we have a dialect wich is a mix of hawiye and lower shabeele like ninka, we cant prounounce lankii and we say lika, lacalada, balooni. also we dont prounce k, we use g instead.Thanks, where is that "dialect" spoken?

LOOOOOOL . yeah we cant prounounce S some of us use TH like the spanish prounouce parca as parthalona and some of us use F instead of S like waa ifin salaamaySahal,
Waathugow, webiga xuu la walaaca? Amxaraada walaaqineeyso, oo thoomaalidaay ku xumeeyneydaa.
Jokes aside; I don't think a dialect has anything to do with a tribal affiliation. In Beledweyne almost everyone born there speaks like that.

That is very common in that region; from Wardheer to Maxaas to Jalalaqsi. It has nothing to do with the qabil
