The article discusses how the media in Kenya has influenced the development of two youth languages, Sheng and Engsh. These languages, which mix African language syntax with English words, started on the streets but have spread to radio, print media, and even television. By being used in these mainstream media outlets, Sheng and Engsh have become more accepted by society as symbols of youth and modernity. This shift has made them suitable for advertising and inclusion in popular culture like soap operas. The examples provided in the article illustrate this evolution of Sheng and Engsh in Kenyan public spaces and media.
