چکیده (انگلیسی):

The paper examines the place of language immediately after the 2008 Kenyan political crisis.
Language-vernaculars-were seen to have assisted in the escalation of the conflict. Surprisingly,
Language, a tool which had divided the populace was called upon to initiate a peaceful co -existence
through a generation of multilingual terminologies that united Kenyans. The growth and choice of the se
multilingual terms drew from a desire to forge commonness amongst inter-language speakers. These
terms have acquired new circumstantial meanings and have gained widespread use in Kenyan social
discourse to date.
