Meru is the language spoken by the Meru people (Ameru) who live on the Eastern and Northern slopes of Mount Kenya, Kenya,
Africa and on the Nyambene ranges. They settled in this area after centuries of migration from the north. The Meru people
are a fairly homogeneous community and all share a common ancestry. They speak the same language, Kimeru, but there are some
slight regional differences, in accent and local words. The community comprises the following subdivisions; from the north
to south: Igembe Tigania (Tiania) Imenti Tharaka (Saraka) Igoji Mwimbi–Muthambi Chuka (Gicuka) (marginal intelligibility with
Meru proper and with Gikuyu) The Meru language is similar to its surrounding neighbors, the Kikuyu and Embu could have possibly
adopted parts of Meru. |
