This study examined the effects of social variation in Kĩĩkamba livestock bargaining register. Livestock register provides a ground where the hearer exercises power and aims at controlling the mind of the speaker. The study was guided by Labov’s (1972) variationist paradigm which states that language varies at all levels and that the variation is caused by certain social characteristics of the speakers of a language. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative research design. Audio-recording, observations and interviews were used in data collection. The conversations of traders were recorded as they engaged in the buying and selling of livestock. The audio-recorded data was transcribed, translated, coded, analyzed and presented in tables and pie charts. The data was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings of the study indicated that age and gender are responsible for the linguistic variation in livestock bargaining context and that dialectical variation s reflected in Kῖῖkamba language. The results of the study add to the topic of languages, linguistic exchanges and bargaining discourses in Kῖῖkamba language. The study also informs on sociolinguistic research by advancing knowledge on livestock register as a social activity. Thus, the study recommends the development of a Kῖῖkamba dictionary to record the deeper Kῖῖkamba lexical items found in the livestock bargaining register for future reference. Further, the older members of the Kῖῖkamba community should be encouraged to use Kῖῖkamba in home domain as a way of encouraging the young to utilize Kῖῖkamba language.
