!Kung language

The !Kung language, also known as Juǀʼhoan or Bushman language, is spoken by the !Kung (or Juǀʼhoan) people of Southern Africa, primarily in Namibia and Botswana. It is part of the Khoisan language family, notable for its distinctive use of click consonants—sounds produced by clicking the tongue or other parts of the mouth. !Kung language features a complex system of tones and a rich array of consonants and vowels. It’s primarily an oral language with no widely adopted written form. The language reflects the culture and environment of the San people, serving as a vital link to their heritage and traditional knowledge.
