Sheng is a Swahili-based patois or slang-based sociolect, originating in Nairobi, Kenya, and influenced by the many languages spoken there. The word is coined from the two words - (S)wahili and (Eng)lish.
While primarily a language of urban youth, it has spread across social classes to the halls of the Kenyan parliament and geographically to neighbouring Tanzania and Uganda.
Originating in the early 1970s in the Eastlands area of Nairobi (variously described as a "slum", "ghetto" or "suburb"), Sheng is now heard among matatu drivers across the region, and in the popular media. Most of the Sheng words are introduced in various communities and schools and given wide exposure by music artists who include them in their lyrics, hence the rapid growth. It can be assumed to be the first language of many Kenyans in urban areas. Like all types of slang, it is used mainly by the urban youth and is part of popular culture in this country. It also evolves rapidly, as words are incorporated into or derived from slang use. It is gaining wide currency among East African hip hop artists -both mainstream and "underground", whose music facilitates its spread and contribute to rapid changes or shifts in its lexicon, but also among university and secondary-school students. Although the grammar, syntax, and much of the vocabulary are drawn from Swahili, Sheng borrows from English and from the languages of various ethnic groups in Kenya, such as, the Gikiiyii, the Luo and the Kamba. Notable however, is the borrowing of words that are not from any local language or English -- such as the Sheng word dame "lady" -- which has a similar meaning in French, or morgen "morning" - a Sheng word used in some areas with a similar meaning in German.
Sheng vocabulary can vary significantly among regions of Kenya and East Africa, and even neighbourhoods of Nairobi. Most of the youth living in Nairobi often use Sheng as their everyday language rather than speak fluent Swahili or English.
