Once upon a time there was a man called Mwananchi. Now this guy had one talent. As a youngster, he would stand on a street corner at Booroo housing estate and tell stories. Booroo estate was the newest and largest estate in Nairobi, built to house the new generation of forward-moving Kenyans.

Kids from one to four of the housing estate would pass by his “joint” ${}^1$when sent to the shops by their parents. His joint was an abandoned old car, which sat next to a lampshade he had decorated himself in Manchester United football team’s colours. He told his stories sometimes in Sheng, the version of Swahili that all the cool people spoke, or sometimes in that hip Nairobi English teachers laughed at.

Parents hated him. They wanted him to be exiled to some small village somewhere: whatever it took to get him away from their children, who would come home with all sorts of crazy ideas, funny new slang. Some ${}^2$ tried to get hold of his parents to complain about him, but his parents seemed elusive - promising to come to meetings and never showing up, or sometimes not picking up the telephone.

Whatever ${}^1$ else people do when they come together – Whether ${}^1$ they play, fight, make love, or make automobiles - they talk. We live in a world of languages. We talk to our friends, our associates, our wives and husbands, our lovers,${}^2$ our teachers,${}^2$ our parents, our rivals, and even our enemies. We talk to bus drivers and total strangers. We talk face-to-face and over the telephone, and everyone responds with more talk. Television and radio further swell this torrent of words. Hardly a moment of our waking lives is free from words, and even in our dreams we talk and are talked to. We also talk when there is no one to answer. Some of us talk aloud in our sleep. We talk to our pets and sometimes to ourselves.

The possession of language, perhaps more than any other attribute, distinguishes humans from other animals. To understand our humanity, one must understand the nature of language that makes us human.
