It's not possible, even villages have changes.

ezeagu: It's not possible, even villages have changes.

why and how do those changes occur?

Antivirus92: why and how do those changes occur?

Whenever people encounter difference in environment they adapt to it. People, given time, will always put a slant to something. There are many reasons which include political, environmental, and other historical factors. For example, a part of a particular group may come under influence of another group and then there's a variation. Just think in a nuclear family there may already be slangs or traditions that are particular to that family, as the family grows so also do these traditions grow and become part of the wider culture.

somali people have culture and speak somali language and are homogenous

somalia9: somali people have culture and speak somali language and are homogenous

Somali are split into different clans which all have variations of Somali culture. There was never a Pan-Somali state until the arrival of Europeans.

what an idiooot, somalis are ethnically somali. We have clans not tribe. clans are families that make up the somali family. Their was always somali states, ajuraan, sultans, somalia the nation just became a country in 1960.


All somalis speak somali and we are homogenous.

Well the topic has gone right over your head. And you have mouth to call somebody an idiot, then you went on to repeat exactly what I said about multiple Somali states. Many of the so called clans don't even like each other and their squabbles have been a major hinderance to any Pan-Somali-ism. The topic is about whether there is an ethnic group that has no slight changes in culture and language. The Somali do not qualify. They don't even all have the same political history.

Now who else.

The Han Chinese.

what makes them different from other chinese? are they a clan or a tribe?

They are the worlds largest Ethnic group. They might have started out as a tribe in the past.

Their language is Mandarin. It is different from Hakka or Manchu or Mongol or any other Chinese language.

hmmm,nice. i will like to know more about them. but are all these chinese languages mutually intelligible?

Antivirus92: hmmm,nice. i will like to know more about them. but are all these chinese languages mutually intelligible?

you already know more about them I s'pose. Most Chinese are Han (Northerners esp.) and most of the leaders of Chinese Communist party are Han CHineses. The Royal Family of China is Manchurian however. These MAnchu are Jurche people, slightly closer to Mongols. Beijing was originally Manchu territory.

The difference between Hakka and the better-known Cantonese may be compared to that between Portuguese and Spanish, whereas Mandarin might be compared to French – more distantly related, and with a quite different phonology.

Mandarin (or national language) is just a standard form of Chinese based on the old Beijing civil-service dialect. In reality there are still many Chinese dialects like Wú (spoken by 80 million) and Xiāng (38 million). Some even argue that the Chinese is a language group instead of a single language, but the Chinese disagree. However Chinese writing is done mainly in Mandarin. All Chinese dialects like Cantonese and Mandarin, are not mutually intelligible.

The Han don't have a uniform culture without change (unless Hong Kong culture is the same as Shanghai culture), they were once separated into different Kingdoms before the Han dynasty.

The Somali share a common language, adhere to a single faith, and share a cultural heritage that is an integral part of their nomadic lifestyle. Their name is derived from the words, "so maal," which literally mean, "Go milk a beast for yourself!" To the Somali, this is actually a rough expression of hospitality.


In the Middle Ages, several powerful Somali empires dominated the regional trade including the Ajuuraan State, which excelled in hydraulic engineering and fortress building,[38] the Sultanate of Adal, whose general Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi (Ahmed Gurey) was the first commander to use cannon warfare on the continent during Adal's conquest of the Ethiopian Empire,[39] and the Geledi sultanate, whose military dominance forced governors of the Omani empire north of the city of Lamu to pay tribute to the Somali Sultan Ahmed Yusuf.[40]

my a$$


Somali linguistic varieties are divided into three main groups: Northern, Benadir and Maay. Northern Somali (or Northern-Central Somali) forms the basis for Standard Somali,particularly the Mudug dialect of the northern Darod. It is today spoken in an area stretching from northern Somalia to parts of the eastern and southwestern sections of the country.

Benadir (also known as Coastal Somali) is spoken on the central Indian Ocean seaboard, including Mogadishu. It forms a relatively large group.

Maay is principally spoken by the Digil and Mirifle (Rahanweyn or Sab) clans in the southern regions of Somalia. Maay is not mutually comprehensible with Northern Somali or Benadir, and it differs considerably in sentence structure and phonology.

Maay is closely related with the Jiido, Dabarre, Garre and Tunni languages that are also spoken by smaller Rahanweyn communities. Collectively, these languages present similarities with Oromo that are not found in mainstream Somali. Chief among these is the lack of pharyngeal sounds in the Rahanweyn/Digil and Mirifle languages, features which by contrast typify Somali.

The Somali language (Somali: Af-Soomaali, Arabic: اللغة الصومالية‎) is an Afro-Asiatic language, belonging to the family's Cushitic branch. It is spoken by ethnic Somalis in Greater Somalia and the Somali diaspora, and as an adoptive language by a few neighbouring ethnic minority groups and individuals.

Japan has 1 less known-group, the Ainu indigenes. but its true. they are largely homogenous, with regards to culture, language, etc.

while u were here trolling the forum, somaliland celebrated 22 yrs of their breakaway from somalia yesterday. i saw it on tv and they swore never to join u negroes in the south. if u were exactly one, why the breakaway?

ITs because of their Clan system.

have you lost your mind? Did I say that Isaaq is a tribe

Exactly! Maay is a dilect (nearing to a language). This thread is all about that. you dont have 1 uniform language. there all these dialect and thingz.

There are no mixed Somalis with Indians. Indians are very racist. they rarely marry negroes like you.

and the ones mixed with Arabs are mostly in the coast (Benadry)
