No one can speak good english or swahili in kenya? He needs to mingle with people more

Sheng made me hate kiswahili as a subject in High school. Actually, got a C plain because I was so used to sheng back then.

It is a misconception that the best Swahili is spoken in Tanzania. It is the best standard Swahili for sure- in itself standardized by the British Inter-Territorial Language Committee. Kiunguja was chosen as the dialect -the Zanzibar town dialect, but as much Arabic as possible was removed (some 50% of vocabulary was Arabic) except where confusion in its admission would result. Words such as Safari have specific meanings outside Arabic's original meaning of caravan convoy or Swahili's mwendo - journey. Also, Kimvita (Mombasa) and Kiamu (Lamu) dialect elements were added. Strictly speaking, the purest forms of Swahili are spoken on the Lamu archipelago

Sheng is not a language...and it's not a threat to Swahili...Sheng has no future...We formed the initial Sheng in 1966...but the Sheng being Spoken today...I can't comprehend it...

"No kenyan can speak straight english/kiswahili" What the hell is this dude smoking though?

Kiswahili ni lugha tamu, , hii sheng kusema ukweli inaleta balaa...

Sheng is pointless. I’ve always said this. A language that’s not stable can’t be a language. I’ve been young and I’m now almost forty. Yet sheng hasn’t stabilized. And it’s not showing any sign of stabilizing. You can’t study or muster a language that changes every week. Or even daily sometimes.

Sheng is a fad. That keeps changing. All the “monchokas” and “riengs” won’t mean a thing in a year. You basically can’t write a kamusi for sheng. And you can’t even do an etiological study either. Words have such a short half life. There’s no order, no general structure. No body governing it to be developed into a language.

Above all it doesn’t serve East Africans. At a time when we’re trying to come together. It’ll serve to alienate than bring us together.

Sheng is the most unstable languages of the world. It is just like a passing wind. A smoke!!!

So, lets see if I got it. So far, just some European and Asian languages had become international and widespread. For the first time, there is an African language that could join this group, allowing to better convey african culture worlwide and opining the possibility for africans from distant regions to speak each other in an african language rather than in a foreign one. But, instead of being proud of it and promote it as quick as possible to insure this place for swahili in a globalised world, you guys create a new mixed or pidgin language that is actually competing against swahili. I have even read that sheng phenomenon is expanding outside kenya into Tanzania.

I think that these European and Asian people who are studying swahili should have done a little research before starting, to be aware that swahili has institutional support, but not from those who could speak it.

I don't understand Sheng yet I'm Kenyan.

[markosieko]

We don't speak sheng, we speak a mixture of English and kiswahili

[gamerabossb]

You don't know English, You don't know swahili and Sheng is just there.
