The Somali languages belong to the Afro-Asiatic language family. They are spoken as a mother tongue by ethnic Somalis in Greater Somalia and the Somali diaspora. Some neighboring populations and individuals have also adopted the languages.〔Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009. Ethnologue: Languages of the World, Sixteenth edition. Dallas, Tex.: SIL International. Online version: http://www.ethnologue.com/.〕 ==Overview== Somali dialects are divided into three main groups: Northern, Benaadir and Maay, which are largely mutually unintelligible. Northern Somali (or Northern-Central Somali) forms the basis for Standard Somali. Benaadir (also known as Coastal Somali) is spoken on the Benadir coast from Adale to south of Merca, including Mogadishu and in the immediate hinterland. The Digil and Mirifle clans, collectively known as the Rahanweyn, live in the southern areas of Somalia. They speak Cushitic languages related to Standard Somali, which are sometimes described as dialects. The latter include Maay, Jiido, Dabarre, Garre and Central Tunni. Of these, Jiido is the most incomprehensible to Somali speakers. One way in which these languages differ from Somali is the lack of pharyngeal consonants; the is replaced by in some positions.
