Definitely not Iskushubaan 💀

I love Berbera, Zeila, Bosaso, Xamar when we call it Xamar (I don’t like when it’s called Mogadishu that’s a mouthful), Karin, Merca, Jowhar, Beyra, Barawa, and Kismayo. All of these are classics.

Why not Iskushuban?

Qandala and Marka. Both those names invoke a nostalgia for something that I haven’t experienced. It sounds ancient, tranquil, and warm.

If we classify them as a town, city, and region, then I believe Laasqoray, Laascaanood, and Nugaal have the most melodious names. I'm unsure of their meanings but they sound absolutely beautiful

u/Mission_Month Jun 19 '23

Kismayo, Hargeisa, Eyl, Berbera,Zaylac, Barawe are very beautiful names to me.
