[kictanet] The Sheng Question

[meshack emakunat]

in my view sheng is a language that has developed in the recent times 
only to ague that it is so primitive that many may not see the sense in 
qualifying it has a language

it is used in the cosmopolitan/ metropolitan areas were there are many languages that are spoken by different peopleit intergrates the many languages hence simplifying communication it is easily understood among the youth considering kenya has up to 42 tribes speaking different tongues.it has developed to the extend that poetry is crafted in sheng
we should not shun sheng rather help develop and mould it to a better language
