About KASINARY
Where Africa Defines Itself
Our Mission
KASINARY is the world's most comprehensive African slang dictionary, dedicated to documenting the rich linguistic diversity of the African continent. Our mission is to create the most authentic collection of African slang terms, celebrating the creativity and cultural expression of African people everywhere.
With over 51,000 words from 54 African countries and territories, we've become the largest Pan-African slang repository in existence, representing authentic voices from every corner of the continent - from Arabic dialects in North Africa to Bantu languages in the South.
Why African Slang Matters
African slang terms are often the most expressive examples of linguistic creativity across the continent. These words and phrases are born from the streets, townships, universities, and social gatherings - representing the authentic voice of Africa's people.
By documenting these terms, we're helping preserve an important part of African cultural heritage that often goes unrecorded in formal dictionaries. From Arabic dialects in North Africa to Bantu languages in the South, every expression tells a story.
Our platform captures the dynamic evolution of African languages, from traditional expressions passed down through generations to modern digital slang that emerges from social media, music, and street culture across the continent.
