Most Somalis living in the Horn of Africa—particularly members of the Daarood, Hawiye, Dir, and Isaaq clan families—are nomadic pastoralists. Members of the Digil, Mirifle, and Rahanweyn clan families typically practice agropastoralism and live in sedentary villages and cities. The vast majority of Somali individuals are Muslim. The majority belong to the Shāfiʿī rite of Sunni Islam, and various Sufi orders are popular.
