San languages

San languages are a group of indigenous languages spoken by the San people in southern Africa, primarily in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. These languages are part of the larger Khoisan language family, known for their distinctive click sounds used as consonants. San languages have complex structures with unique click-based phonetics, making them linguistically distinct. They are primarily oral traditions, with few written forms, and play a vital role in preserving San cultural identity and history. Despite challenges from language decline, efforts continue to document and maintain these languages for future generations.
