## Meesha lagaga hadlo

Maayga waxaa inta badan ku hadla Digil iyo Mirifle, oo wadajir loogu yeero [Rahanweyn](/so/society/rahanweyn/), koonfurta Soomaaliya. Deegaankiisu wuxuu ka bilaabmaa xuduudda Itoobiya ee koonfur-galbeedka ilaa meel u dhow xeebta u dhexeysa Muqdisho (Mogadishu) iyo Kismaayo (Kismayo), waxaana ku jirta Baydhabo (Baidoa) ([Maay Maay, Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maay_Maay)). Glottolog wuxuu ku daray afafka laanta Soomaaliga ee Kushitigga Bari ([Glottolog, Maay](https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/maay1238)).

Aqoonyahanka afafka ee Talyaaniga ah Marcello Lamberti, oo 1981 sahan ku sameeyay hadalka koonfurta Soomaaliya, wuxuu Maay dhigay dhammaan Bay, Bakool, Gedo, Jubbada Dhexe iyo Shabeellaha Hoose, koonfur-galbeedka Hiiraan, degmada Jowhar iyo bariga Jubbada Hoose ([Landinfo 2011, b. 13](http://www.landinfo.no/asset/1800/1/1800_1.pdf)). Gedo wuxuu dhulka la wadaagaa lahjadaha Ogaadeen, Degoodi (Degodiya) iyo Mareexaan. Lamberti wuxuu sidoo kale ogaaday in Maayga aysan ku hadlin Rahanweyn oo keliya: Jilib, tusaale ahaan, Jareerka (Oojji) waxay isticmaali jireen lahjadda Maay ee deegaanka.

## Shan lahjadood

Lamberti wuxuu ogaaday in lahjadaha Maaygu ay si wanaagsan isugu eg yihiin, oo ay leeyihiin farqi yar oo tartiib ah, wuxuuna magacaabay shan ([Landinfo 2011, b. 14](http://www.landinfo.no/asset/1800/1/1800_1.pdf)):

1. **Maayga Waqooyiga**, waqooyiga Gedo iyo Bakool, oo saameyn yar ku leh Soomaaliga Waqooyiga.
2. **Maayga Galbeedka**, Baardheere iyo Diinsoor.
3. **Maayga Bariga**, oo ka kooban Af-Eelay iyo Af-[Begedi](/so/society/begedi/).
4. **Maayga Qoryooley ilaa Jilib**.
5. **Maayga Koonfurta ama Jubbada Hoose**, Jamaame iyo Afmadow.

## Sida uu uga duwan yahay Maxaa-tiri

Lamberti wuxuu tiriyay astaamahan Maayga ([Landinfo 2011, b. 14](http://www.landinfo.no/asset/1800/1/1800_1.pdf)):

- ma laha codadka cunaha **c** iyo **x**;
- shaqal dhexe, oo u eg "e" ee erayga Ingiriisiga "the", oo aan far Soomaali ah ku lahayn;
- codad isku dhex gala: "you went" Maayga waa batti, Soomaaliga Waqooyigana waa baxday; "we went" waa banni;
- jamacyo naxw ahaan lab ah;
- lahaansho badan oo lagu sameeyo **haan-**, sida haankey ("my").

Dhererka shaqalku macnaha wuu beddelaa, sida bur ("flour") iyo buur ("mountain"), waxaana la isticmaalaa labada habka erayada: fal-yeele, fal, layeele iyo fal-yeele, layeele, fal ([Maay Maay, Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maay_Maay)). I. M. Lewis wuxuu farqiga u dhexeeya Maay iyo Soomaaliga Waqooyiga la barbardhigay ka u dhexeeya Isbaanishka iyo Bortuqiiska ([Saints and Somalis, 1998, b. 74](https://books.google.com/books?id=P5AZyEhMtbkC)). Martin Orwin oo ka tirsan SOAS wuxuu Landinfo u sheegay in dadka badankiisa ee deegaannada Maayga ay sidoo kale fahmaan Maxaa-tiri, iyo in Afgooye, oo u dhow Muqdisho, inta badan ay si buuxda ugu hadlaan labadaba ([Landinfo 2011, b. 14](http://www.landinfo.no/asset/1800/1/1800_1.pdf)).

## Maqaamka sharci

Qodobka 5aad ee Dastuurka Ku-meel-gaarka ah ee 2012 wuxuu leeyahay afka rasmiga ah ee Jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliya waa "Af-Soomaali (Maay iyo Maxaa-tiri)", Carabiguna waa afka labaad ([Constitute Project, Soomaaliya 2012](https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Somalia_2012)). Maayga guud ahaan laguma isticmaalo dugsiyada iyo warbaahinta, dadka Maayga ku hadlaana inta badan waxay af wadaag ahaan u isticmaalaan Af-Soomaaliga heerka ah, oo ay ka bartaan raadiyaha, socdaalka iyo nolosha magaalada ([Maay Maay, Wikipedia, oo soo xiganaya Ethnologue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maay_Maay)).

## Gabayga Maayga

Maaygu wuxuu leeyahay gabay afka lagu tiriyo oo u gaar ah. Cilmi-yaqaannada dadka Virginia Luling waxay 1989 duubtay gabay goobta lagu curiyay oo ka dhacay dabbaaldeg Afgooye. Halkaas gabayaaga iyo tirinaha, oo loo yaqaan **laashin**, waxay ahaayeen isku qof, oo gabayga curinayay isagoo heesaya ([Luling 1996, "The Law Then Was Not This Law"](https://www.jstor.org/stable/586663)). Laashinnada Hiraabey, Muuse Cusmaan iyo Abukar Cali Goitow waxay la hadleen Suldaan Subuge oo ka mid ahaa [Geledi](/so/history/geledi-sultanate/), iyagoo xusaya awowyadiisii Gobroon.
