Ting is all throughout the Caribbean and doesn't only come from Jamaican patois.

"wallahi" comes from Somali? lol
The popularization of it being specifically used in Toronto has been from Somali Muslims.
It is also a Muslim/Arabic word
Wallahi is a muslim thing and i pre sure non muslims rnt supposed 2 say it
Yes thats true but as a kid I also thought it was somali because they would use it incredibly frequently and there are many many many east africans in Toronto. It was hard to hear a conversation with Somali Canadians without Wallahi used 4 or 5 times. It is also used by Arabic people I learned later, but the widespread use of it in Toronto specifically was influenced by the Somali community.
Somali Muslim youth use it.
Wallahi never came from Somalia it is a Muslim word look it up
Somalis overuse it among all Muslims
