Kenyans do not have an accent. We say certain things which have been influenced by our culture and the rotating door of accents we were subjected to by primary school teachers. We say things like “I am almost” and “Let me tell you, Maina”, and the only people who can really understand us are other Kenyans.
In fact, the closest thing we have to an accent is the dialect our champions give interviews in after conquering the world of athletics.
Kenyans, however, have a unique ability to absorb and immediately adopt foreign accents. Seeing as we do not have one of our own, it was only fitting that we shopped for one.
