JIIDDU
JIIDDU (JIDDU, AF-JIIDDU) [JII] 20,000 to 60,000 (1992). Lower Shabeelle Bay and Middle Jubba regions, Qoryooley, Dhiinsoor, Jilib, and Buurhakaba districts. Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Somali. A distinct language from Somali and Tunni, usually grouped under the Digil dialects or languages. Different sentence structure and phonology from Somali. Closer to Somali than to Baiso. Spoken by the Jiiddu clan. Ethnic Jiiddu in Bale Province, Ethiopia speak Oromo as mother tongue.
Heine in 1978 classified Bayso as the Northern branch of Omo-Tana (The Sam languages)
while Sasse (1975) established the Western branch with the closely related languages Dasenech, Arbore and Elmolo. Rendille and Boni are included together with Somali, the Eastern branch of Omo-Tana.
However, there are two distinct communities indigenous to Gidiccho island speaking different languages: the Bayso-Bayso is the name of a village on the southern tip of Gidiccho island and the name used by the entire community to refer to themselves as an ethnic group, as well as to their language

The Kenya-Somali border area is dominated by the Somali ethnic group. But a number of other ethnic groups live in the border areas, especially in the northern Kenya border zone. Many of these groups – such as the Garre, Gabra, and Rendille -- possess highly ambiguous and fluid ethnic identities, making it difficult to categorize them as “Somali,” “Oromo” or other. The Garre, for instance, are considered a Somali clan but speak a dialect of Oromiyya. The flexible, fluid nature of ethnic identity among the Garre, Gabra, and Rendille has historically been a useful tool for negotiating relations between the dominant groups.
The Somalis themselves are much more hybrid in the Tana-Jubba interriverine area than in central and northern Somalia. In the process of south-western expansion across the Jubba river and into present day Kenya, Somali clans freely employed the practice of clan “adoption” (shegad) either as newcomers seeking protection from a stronger clan or as a means of absorbing weaker groups. As Cassanelli notes, “during the periodic migrations of Somali nomads from the drier central plains into the interriverine area, the incidence of contractual clientship multiplied.”13
The result is that many members of Somali clans in the border areas are shegad – some are originally Orma, Wardei, while others are adopted members from another Somali clan. Occasionally, when political advantage dictates, adopted clans can “rediscover” their original identity and revoke their old clan identity. Ethnic identity in the region is not nearly as fixed and immutable as observers often assume, but is rather used as a tool by communities to pursue what they need – protection and access to resources. As Laitin and Samatar noted two decades ago, “the essence of great politics in the Somali context is the clever reconstruction of one’s clan identity.”14
ORMA (UARDAI, WADAI, WARDAY, WARDEI) (Sanye) [ORC] 55,000 (1994 I. Larsen BTL), including 5,000 Munyo. Garissa and Tana River districts, Northeastern and Coast provinces. The Oromo spoken in the Lower Jubba Region of Somalia.
55,000 (1994 I. Larsen BTL). Population includes 5,000 Munyo.
Warday Madow dialect -Warra Daayu dialect
The Orma controlled that area until the mid or late 19th century. They move from the lower Tana River inland toward Kitui District during rainy season.
Uardai, Wadai, Warday, Wardei
Munyo (Korokoro, Munyo Yaya), Waata, Orma. Distinct from Boran. Munyoyaya is an ethnic group speaking a dialect of Orma. The Pokomo who are mainly agriculturists.
The Wasanye: this is a small ethnic grouping to be found around the Kipini area around Witu/Boni forest and are also scattered in the Tarasaa area of Garsen division. They tend to be traditionalist, and have no specific occupation except that they are wanderers in the forest and bushes gathering wild fruits and honey.
The rest of the southern interior, from Garissa on the Tana River to Marerey on the Jubba river, is inhabited mainly by a number of Absame/Darood clans, including Mohamed Zubeir, Makabal, Aulihan, Talamoge, and Jidwak. Along the lower Tana and Jubba river valleys, the main ethnic groups are non-Somali. Bantu farmers reside along the Jubba river, and in the Tana river valley the Pokomo (Bantu farmers), Orma and Wardey (Cushitic/mainly pastoral) are the principal inhabitants. A small group of hunter-gatherers, the Boni, live in the northeastern coastal corner of Kenya.

To the east, in Marsabit Province, the Borona, Rendille, Gabra, (all related to the Oromo) and Oromo predominate.

Garre clan-Gurra
Gurra Dir , Gurre, Garre, a group of people living between the
Webi Gestro and Dumale, of Somali origin but much mixed
with other groups; also a clan of the Mecha/Liban/Ammaya Oromo W gurra 'ear'
On the other hand, the Garre clan in Mandera district has forged an alliance with their Garre kinsmen in Ethiopia and Somalia. This alliance is also backed by Ororsame section of the Marehaan, a section that has been in loggerheads with the Eldera.
The majority of Somalis in Mandera are from the Murule,Degodia and Garre Somali clans, with a minority representing the Marehan,Sheekal,Sharmooge and Leysan clans.
Jiiddu and Tunni clans are classified as separate languages. Most Garre in Somalia speak Garre as a mother tongue, but Maay is the mother tongue of some. The Garre language is close to Boni. (Most Garre and Ajuuraan in Kenya speak an Oromo language named after them: Garre-Ajuuraan.)
Tradition also says that the Gabbra Miigo, the Sakuye Miigo and the Gabbra of Kenya's Eastern Province later originated directly from the Garre Somali. ...
About 20,000 Garre in Kenya also speak Maay. The Leysaan clan of the Somalis also speak Maay and are allied with the Digil-Rahawiin, as is the Daraawe division of the Garre clan.
GARRE (AF-GARRE) [GEX] 50,000 or more (1992); perhaps several hundred thousand in the ethnic group. Dominate areas of southern Somalia, especially in the Wanle Weyn-Buur Hakaba area; Baydhaba, Dhiinsoor, Buurhakaba, and Qoryooley districts; Middle and Lower Shabeelle and Bay regions. Afro-Asiatic, Cushitic, East, Somali. Part of the Hawiye clan family. They consider themselves to be one people with the Garreh in Kenya, although they now speak different languages. Some ethnic Garre in Somalia speak Maay as mother tongue. Reported to be linguistically close to Boni. Muslim. Survey needed.
The Garre are divided into Tuff and Quranyowa sub-clans; the Tuffs further into Ali and Adola; the Quranyow into Asare and Furkesha.

Furkesha, the brother of Assarre , had seven sons, they were Hodkoya, Birkaya, Hoytra, Darawa, Kalwesha, Hurdeq and “SUBUKITRE”.
