COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE: "The Seni people have essentially switched to becoming Hausa speaking and are broadly Muslim. They now call themselves the Shenawa and their language Shenanci. The loss of the
language is taken as a fait accompli. There is no interest in reviving it and its continued existence is simply a curiosity to most residents."

LOCATION DESCRIPTION: "The Seni live east of the Jos-Zaria road which runs north of Jos, in Lere Local government area, Kaduna State, although still on the Jos Plateau."

PLACES: "Sheni is spoken at 8°45'E, 10°25'N; Sheni is a few miles south of Rahama Station on Jos-Zaria railway."

COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE: "The Hausa term for the language is sheenancii, and that for its speakers sheeni pl. sheenaawaa. The speakers' own names for the language and for its speakers were not known to my informants."

LOCATION DESCRIPTION: "Gurjiya, which means 'Red-flowered Silk Cotton Tree' (or 'Bambara groundnuts') in Hausa is situated to the east of Ganji... 72 kilometers from Jos. Other settlements of the Sheni mentioned are Shemare and Tudu..."
