Somali and Maay Maay are two of the principal languages spoken by Somali communities. I am a native speaker of both languages and provide professional translation, interpretation, proofreading, editing, and language consulting services in Somali and Maay Maay.
Somali is the official language of Somalia and is widely spoken throughout the Horn of Africa and by Somali communities around the world. Maay Maay is widely spoken in southern Somalia and has its own distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical features.
Because I am native in both Somali and Maay Maay, I understand the linguistic and cultural differences between them and can provide accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate language services for each audience.

Gacaliye Buka,
[Organization Name] waxay sameynayaan mashruuc daraasadeed si loo ogaado sida wanaagsan ee aynu ula xiriirno bukaanadeena. Waxaan jecelnahay in aad naga caawiso adigoo soo buuxiya rayi-ururintan. Rayi-urintan buuxinteeda waxay qaadanaysaa in ka yar 10 daqiiqo.
Buuxinta rayi-uruintan kaagama imaanayo wax halis ah. Si toos ahaanna uma heli doontid wax manfac ah haddii aad ka qeyb qaadato rayi-ururintan. Balse mustaqbalka danbe ayaa laga yaabaa in ay dad ka manaafacaan sida aad uga jawaabto su’aalaha rayi-uruinta.
Rayi-ururintan waa mid dahsoon. Jawaabaha aad ka bixiso su’aalahana lama waafiqin doono magacaaga. Jawaabaha aad ka bixiso su’aalahana ma noqon doonaan mid wax waxba kama bedeli doonta sida laguu daaweeyo.
Jawaabahaaga aad ka bixineyso su’aalahan waa mid aad muhiim u ah. Balse, ma aha in aad buuxiso rayi-uruintan haddii aadan doonayn.
Waad ku mahadsan tahay caawinadaada.
