Youth language attitudes and secrecy in West Cameroon

This paper investigates youth culture as a whole package (dressing, language, dancing styles, hair styles, articulation and many more). It focuses on youth culture in West Cameroon looking into their language which is highly characterized by multilingualism with traces of many colonial and African languages and like many other youth languages, it is highly influenced by cultures such as hip hop music, dressing and walking styles among others. The intention of this paper is to add to other voices that youth have got a mind of their own to create new cultures for their own satisfaction and not necessarily resisting others who are out of their cycles.
