Nxng

Nǁng, also known as Nǀuu, is a language of the southern Kalahari, traditionally spoken by the ǂKhomani San. Its many click consonants belong to a linguistic heritage shared with related Tuu languages of southern Africa. In the sandy country around the Nossob and Auob, the ǂKhomani and their neighbours hunted and gathered among dunes and dry riverbeds. Their knowledge of plants, animals and water made it possible to live in a land of scarce rain.
