'''Af Mexee dhehti''' (or '''Af Mexee''' for short) is a Somali condialect. The term ''Mexee dhehti'' means "What did you say?" and is used to differentiate ''Af Mexee'' from dialects such as ''Af Maxaa (tiri)'' (regular Somali) and ''Af Maay''. However, since it is a Somali dialect, Af Mexee speakers refer to their language simply as ''Af Soomaali''. | '''Af Mexee dhehti''' (or '''Af Mexee''' for short) is a Somali condialect.

Af Mexee is probably mutually intelligible with Af Maxaa (I haven't tested it out though). It's mostly a fun way to improve my Somali, both in terms of my ability to use it and understanding its historical development and dialectal variation. | Af Mexee is probably mutually intelligible with Af Maxaa (I haven't tested it out though).
