To read canfaari is pretty easy, I can read canfaari fluently and it was very easy. so Learning canfaari vocabulary is simple if you have a Somali vocabulary base.
(As in most other Cushitic languages, the basic word order in Afar is subject–object–verb)
But remember these 3 letters and you'll be good to go when reading canfaari in the latin script
X = D in Canfaari
Q= cayn or just caa
C = xaa
Those are the only 3 latin letters pronounced differently
So for example in canfaari you would read "Qafar Feera" which would mean the canfaari alphabet,
feera=fara = writting. Qafar= Afar
Simple enough to understand
now try and read this
This link was a good guide in learning how to pronounce sounds when reading canfaari

Now : A few words I found that are common between Somali and Canfaari,
I just read them out loud and heard the Connection, for example,in Canfaari to say blind you say "inta mali" basically inda male = no eyes in somali, so it was simple enough to figure out
babuur, nadiif etc. Baaldy (bucket) Kimbir/kimbiro= Shimbir/Shimbiro lol . Is sanduuk arabic or somali? And how do somalis from other regions say the word compass, just wondering.
comply= oggole = allowing, I swear the vocab is easy to understand. to say batter you say Tariik so basically Tariig light or electricity lol.
Enjoy! And don't forget what you just learned now, reading these words should be a walk in the park.
Here are a few words you can read.
Inshallah by 2016 I will be fluent in Canfaari

If you ever wanted to travel to Northern Djibouti, the afar region of ethiopia or their base in Eritrea it would beneficial, plus there's no harm in learning a second language especially one located close to us, also if you have somali/canfaari/english skills you can get hired by the un and other organizations. So yes in a way it can get you money. When the canfaars spot booms their new port etc,
