Somalian has three different dialects; broadly-speaking they are:
- Northern Somali
- Coastal Somali (Benadir)
- Maay.
Of these, the dialect spoken in the Northern-Central area is considered the most ‘accent-free’ or ‘Standard’ Somali. In other words, the broadcast-standard in the language.

Beyond Somalia, it’s a significant national language in Djibouti, and a working language in regions of Ethiopia, with close cultural and historical close ties between each of the areas in which it is spoken.
Further afield, there are hundreds of thousands of Somalians residing in Yemen and the United States alone, while the United Kingdom, UAE, Sweden, Canada and many other international regions have large Somalian communities in the tens of thousands.
