about

!Honkia. Gla kye !aba?
🔊 SOUND ON: "The world extends from A to Z, especially the world of languages. Or that is what alphabetocentric Europeans think.
And then Nǁng/Nǁŋǃke/Nǀuu, a South African language with an inventory of 114 distinct speech sounds, including a number of rare sounds unknown in most other languages. The 26 letters of the Latin alphabet clearly cannot capture the relevant distinctions." - Florian Coulmas, Senior Professor for Japanese Society and Sociolinguistics, Universität Duisburg-Essen.
Nǁng is the most endangered, still spoken language of Southern Africa. N/uu was thought to be extinct among expert linguists, but in the late 1990s, about 20 elderly speakers revealed their competence in this language. As of May 2020, only two elderly people from the ǂKhomani community still speak Nǁng.

N/uu is the last surviving member of the !Ui branch of the Tuu language family, with all other members of this branch - /Xam, ǂUngkue and //Xegwi - being extinct. Speakers of !Ui languages were the first people living in today's Southern Africa. They lived as hunter-gatherers before being forced into assimilation by intruding white settlers and their Nama- or Afrikaans-speaking clients. Until today, the members of the ǂKhomani community remain to be among the most marginalised and disadvantaged people of South Africa."
