I have been using mistari and it works well.This is what i wanted especially the sheng language. I like the updated version as it has bug fixes. You guys need to try it. Get to try Mistari <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solami.mistari.latin>on appstore. I concur with the changing language but that is a good challenge to have, the biggest philosophy goes "the idea is not to land man on the moon but the knowledge learnt." I mean there was enough challenge compiling the sheng dictionary already, the beauty is the road map of the app from the lessons learnt in creating it, localized similes, spread it across Africa etc.. Lets land the Kenyan app as a phenomenon, its only 99 shs payable via MPesa. /TheMburu On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 5:44 PM, Andrew Nduati via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
@wash You are right, sheng is not universal since changes randomly without universal application..
Good example is what I experienced this weekend. An invite to a party that began with "Uko ndakala plot ya...." Meaning "are you for the event..". Previously it was "Uko ndani plot ya....."

Someone please help me here. Is SHENG slowly becoming an official language or sorts? My experience listening and doing small time analysis with the speakers tells me that the SHENG isn't universal. There are words which are region-specific and are not easily understood across the divide unless 'transported' to other regions.
Okay. I don't have anything against SHENG. It's just that I don't speak it. I am an old cat:)
