D
A new African language is helping to reduce tensions and bring young people together in areas previously torn apart by tribal(部落)violence．And academics are so impressed by the language’s potential that a social media platform promoting it will form the subject of a major presentation at this year’s eLearning Africa．the continent’s leading conference on technology-assisted learning，training and development．
The language，Sheng，combines Kiswahili，English and a number of Kenyan tribal words，along with a little of Arabic，Hindu，French，German，Spanish and Italian．It was born on the streets of Nairobi，in some of the areas hardest hit by the post-election violence in 2007-2008．
Now a society in Kenya．Go Sheng，is helping to celebrate and promote the language，which is almost generally used by young people so much that it has become the first language of many young Kenyans in urban areas．    
The society provides a platform for social dialogues for the language’s growing numbers of speakers．In doing so，it is giving a voice to a powerful alternative culture in Kenya and celebrating the many tribal languages that contribute to Sheng．In turn，this helps to bring some welcome cultural harmony and mutual(相互)understanding to a country，which has too often been divided against itself in the recent past．
Go Sheng uses a variety of different means to grow Sheng language and culture．Its most significant achievement，to date，has been the development of a Sheng dictionary，which contains over 3，900 words and continues to grow rapidly．It functions as a socially driven resource，where registered members can add words or phrases which then get voted for by other members，before being accepted as authentic．Go Sheng also runs a website and various social media channels，which have an online community of around 15，000 active participants．
