Sadacha Macca,

Somali language is made up of two main dialects, which are Af-Maay and Af-Maxaa-tiri, even though many people argue that each of the two is a Somali language on its own and thus they're not dialects.

However, In Af-Maay (language or dialect) 3 is sadde, and 2 is lama, just like in Afaan Oromo. In Af-Maxaa-Tiri, 3 is saddex, or saddax, and not sadde.

Also, from intonation perspective, Afaan Oromo sounds more Af-Maay than Af-Maxaa-tiri

Comparative analysis based on statistical data have not been carried out yet. But roughly it's 50/50.

However, it's commonly agreed that Af-Maxaa-Tiri has evolved from Af-Maay. And those Arabic letters that are difficult to pronounce for many non-Arabic speakers around the world do not exist in Af-Maay, and this only seems to clearly indicate that Af-Maay predates the introduction of Arab influence to Somalis.
