Benadiri Somali is a dialect of the Somali language. It is primarily spoken by the Benadiri people, who inhabit the southern Banaadir coast of Somalia.[2]
Overview
Benadiri Somali is also referred to as Coastal Somali or Af-Reer Xamar ("Language of the People of Hamar"). Blench (2006) structures the dialect into two general subdivisions:[3]
- Northern Benadir (Abgaal, Ajuran, Huber, and Galjal)
- Southern Benadir (Hamari, Bimaal)
