Qkhuai

ǃKhuai is remembered as a San language of the southern African interior, recorded among the languages once spoken in the wider Vaal and Orange River country. Across the Karoo to the south, San hunting communities followed paths through dry plains and broken hills. Rock engravings and paintings bear witness to the people who knew these landscapes before colonial livestock farms advanced into the interior. Their languages belonged to a varied world of local communities rather than a single speech shared across the region.
