This paper pinpoints the chemistry of culture and language that Cameroonian students use on social media. This is done by analyzing how Dschang University students use verbal and nonverbal language on WhatsApp. The initial tenet is that the students use the digital platform to brandish their multilingual and multicultural expressions. As such, it is necessary to know the types of languages used, determine what accounts for their use, and discuss the possible implications. To do so, the Dynamic Model of Edward Schneider and the Social Semiotics of Theo Van Leuween informed the analysis. Screenshots were taken and downsized using convenient sampling from the students’ WhatsApp groups. Results reveal that besides facilitating instant interaction in academic peer-to-peer communication, WhatsApp posts also virtually represent students’ identities such as tradition, costume, gastronomy, and rituals. The study establishes that local colour, code-switching, code-mixing and neologisms that result in language appropriation are motivated by the multilingual background of the students. As such, WhatsApp and other social media platforms can be used to potentially contribute to the spread and exposure of the linguistic and cultural landscape of Cameroon worldwide.
