- The OED noted that the inclusion of the words is due to the popularity of the Swahili language that is common in East Africa and is spoken by over 200 million people.
- The OED explained that the current update features several new and revised entries for Swahili-origin words which are said to belong to the semantic domains.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has incorporated some of the most common Kenyan words and phrases into its roster in the latest update.
The OED noted that the inclusion of the words is due to the popularity of the Swahili language that is common in the East Africa region, and spoken by over 200 million people globally.
“We're pleased to announce that we've updated our World Englishes page with resources from Kenyan English, Nigerian English, Tanzanian English, and Ugandan English and added a plethora of Kenyan words as part of the updates made in June 2022,” stated the OED.
The OED explained that the current update features several new and revised entries for Swahili-origin words which are said to belong to the semantic domains of East African clothing, cookery, and built environment.
In the now updated list, common Kenyan dialects such as Mpango wa kando, chapo, uhuru, nyama choma, githeri, chang'aa, busaa, come-we-stay, jembe, buibui, sambaza, sheng and collabo will be part of the dictionary.
Other words include; pressed, tarmac, shrub, muratina, kamba, sufuria, merry-go-round, isukuti, jiko, mandazi, mabati, among others.
In Kenya, most of the words are derived from the local vernacular tong’ues, Swahili and 'Sheng', which has also been added to the list and defined by OED as “a street language blending Swahili with lexical and grammatical elements from English and other languages.”
Some of the words borrowed from Swahili and directly translated to bring out the same meaning as intended are; jembe, buibui, nyama choma, mandazi and mabati.
Words derived from the same Swahili lingua but bring out different meanings include ‘Mpango wa kando’, which in OED is defined as sexual relations with someone other than one’s spouse or partner.
Sheng and English words which now have altered meanings according to the OED are; tarmac which in Kenya means to walk the streets looking for work but globally is a term for a road made by combining crushed stone, tar, and sand.
Others are; shrub (pronounce or write a word in another language in a manner that is influenced by one's mother tongue) and merry-go-round (an informal cooperative savings scheme, typically run by and for women).
Similarly, other lingos emanating from local dialects such as the Luhya community’s isukuti and Kikuyu’s muratina have been added to the new edition of the OED.

Sawa sawa kabisa, kuna watu wanapotosha maksudi ila haiwasaidii kitu [emoji846][emoji846]Mkuu, wakati Magufuli anaingia madarakani, vijiji vilivyokua vimeunganishwa na umeme vilikua ni vijiji 2000 tu, Kati ya vijiji vyote 12,0000, idadi hiyo ukijumlisha na asilimia ya umeme mijini, wastan ndio hiyo 33%.
Katika kipindi cha miaka 5 ya uongozi wa Magufuli, aliunganisha vijiji 7000 na mijini akafikisha zaidi ya 90%, ndio sababu hivi Sasa coverage nchi nzima ni 83%

Ulisikia wapi kwamba cargo trains za Kenya zina maximum speed ya 120 km/h? Hii sio passenger train. Passenger train ndio inagonga 120 km/h.

Umeme hadi kijijini ndio access to electricity kwamba umeme umefika kila eneo sasa kuunganisha ni mapenzi ya mteja mwenyewe ila sio kwamba umeme hakuna hiyo ndio acess hata akienda kwa jirani kuchaji simu bado ni access to electricity hiyo.Kwasababu mahali popote duniani uunganishwaji wa umeme unapimwa kwa idadi ya nyumba zilizounganishwa kwa umeme against idadi ya nyumba zote... Nyinyi tu ndo mnatumia vigezo vya vijiji
