Highlight awk syntax in bash files

I have seen that using bask with a call to awk code does not colour highlight the awk syntax.

It would be highly desirable if emacs could also highlight the awk code enclosed in single quotes.

prax ()
{
## Print coloured function controls

awk -v fgb="$blu" -v fgw="$wht" -v rst="$sgr" \
'BEGIN {
"tput sgr0" |& getline sgr
"tput bold; tput setaf 15" |& getline wht
"tput bold; tput setaf 39" |& getline blu
}
/Code:$/ { kl=1 ; next }
!NF { kl=0 }
kl { printf("%s%s%s\n", blu, $0, sgr) }
!kl { printf("%s%s%s\n", wht, $0, sgr) }
' <<< "$@"
}

If that is added, people will ask for sed, perl, python, sql, elisp,
and all other syntaxes that can be passed as an argument to any
interpreter. Where do you draw the line?

It is common for shell scripts to call awk and sed.  Congruously, the place to draw the line.
