Sheng is a slang language made up of Swahili and English, it was first spoken in Nairobi, Kenya.
It originated in the 1970s as a way of urban youths being able to communicate without their parents being able to understand what was being said, but now it is widely spoken and used with electronic media such as radio.
Some examples of Sheng are;
zi/nada/do: no
fegi/mozo/ngale,fuaka: cigarette
ndai/moti/murenga/dinga: car
karao,gava,sanse - police
Here's some Sheng rap ;)
