Shungwaya (also Shingwaya) is an origin myth of the Mijikenda peoples. Traditions known collectively as the "Shungwaya myth" describe a series of migrations of Bantu peoples dating to the 12th-17th centuries from a region to the north of the Tana River. These Bantu migrants were held to have been speakers of Sabaki Bantu languages. Other Bantu ethnic groups, smaller in number, are also suggested to have been part of the migration. From Shungwaya, the Mount Kenya Bantu (Kamba, Kikuyu, Meru, Embu, and Mbeere) are then proposed to have broke away and migrated from there some time before the Oromo onslaught. Shungwaya appears to have had its heyday as a Bantu settlement area between perhaps the 12th and the 15th centuries, after which it was subjected to a full-scale invasion of Cushitic-speak

| - Shungwaya oder Singwaya ist der Name eines mythischen Ortes, den die heute an der Küste Kenias und Nord-Tansanias lebenden Mijikenda in mündlichen Überlieferungen als ihren Ursprungsort bezeichnen. Er wurde allgemein im Süden des heutigen Somalia am Fluss Juba oder zwischen dem Juba und dem Tana vermutet. Der Wahrheitsgehalt der entsprechenden Überlieferungen ist umstritten. (de)
- Shungwaya (también escrita Singwaya) es un territorio y pueblo mítico mencionado en las tradiciones de varias etnias del este de África.Con algunas diferencias de grafía el topónimo se encuentra en algunas cartografías de los siglos XVI y XVII como las de Van Linschotten (1596) y William Blaeu (1662). También fuentes chinas refieren a Shungwaya como una región africana de relevancia entre los siglos XII y XV. Para algunas culturas como la mijikenda se trata de su tierra madre de la que habrían emigrado en el siglo XVI en dirección al sur del río Tana. (es)

También fuentes chinas refieren a Shungwaya como una región africana de relevancia entre los siglos XII y XV. Para algunas culturas como la mijikenda se trata de su tierra madre de la que habrían emigrado en el siglo XVI en dirección al sur del río Tana. Las excavaciones arqueológicas de V. L. Grottanelli (1955 y 1975) en el yacimiento de Burgabo (Port Durnford) sustentaron a partir de los restos de construcciones halladas la posible existencia real de una ciudad de las características de Shungwaya.Sin embargo las ruinas no posibilitaron un acuerdo historiográfico que acreditara tal identificación.Por otra parte las evidencias históricas y arqueológicas disponibles en el siglo XXI refutan la presunta migración mijikenda del siglo XVI desde Shunwaya. Además las tradiciones de gobierno interno de este pueblo tampoco parecen estar relacionadas ni con el sistema de realeza ni con la religión islámica asociada con la tradición Shungwaya. (es)

Shungwaya appears to have had its heyday as a Bantu settlement area between perhaps the 12th and the 15th centuries, after which it was subjected to a full-scale invasion of Cushitic-speaking Oromo peoples from the Horn of Africa. From the whole corpus of these traditions, it has been argued that Shungwaya comprised a large, multi-ethnic community. The "Zhongli" (中理) of Zhao Rukuo's Zhu Fan Zhi (13th century) may be a Chinese transcription of Shungwaya. From Zhao's description, the place seems to be in the south of modern Somalia. (en)
