Khoisan

Khoisan refers to a group of indigenous peoples of southern Africa, primarily found in countries like Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. They are known for their unique languages that incorporate clicking sounds, making them linguistically distinct. The term combines the Khoikhoi, traditionally pastoralists, and the San, who are often hunter-gatherers. Khoisan cultures are rich in history and traditional knowledge, having inhabited the region for thousands of years. They face challenges today, including social marginalization and loss of land, but continue to preserve their unique identity and heritage amidst modern influences.
