Anne Ntinyari Mwiti is not a linguist. Neither is she a cultural anthropologist, nor even a novelist like JRR Tolkein who, like her, invented his own unique language for his particular purposes.
In her case, it was an issue of merging her multicultural identities for the sake of communication among the Maasai, the Meru, and the Ethiopians, all of whom she shares blood lines with.
