Gǁana language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gǁana (also spelled Gxana, Dxana) is a Khoisan language of Botswana with about 2000 speakers (2004 Cook). It is part of the Gǁana-Gǀwi dialect cluster, and closely related to Naro.

The double pipe at the beginning of the name "Gǁana" represents a click like the English interjection used when saying giddy-ap to a horse. For the clicks found in a related variety of Gǁana-Gǀwi, see Gǀwi.
