KhoeKhoegowab is the most populous and widespread of the Khoisan languages. It belongs to the Khoe language family, and is spoken in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa by the Namaqua, Damara, and Haillom, as well as smaller ethnic groups such as the #Khomani. The name for Nama speakers, Khoekhoen, is from the Nama word khoe "person", with reduplication and the suffix -n to indicate the plural.
Thusnelda Dausas and Gabriel /Khoeseb are two young teachers from the primery school, a small school vilage called Baumgartsbrunn in Namibia.

  • Amazing! I used to think the Chinese and Xhosa's were nuts! I hadn't seen anything yet! Really cool though! If you really want to be mesmerized by a continuous flow of clicks, cross to Botswana to hear the San speak. It's like nature's crazy experiment but fascinating to listen to, and they are the most pleasant people ever!

  • @ASPRINALARD

    thank you, next year I'm going to visit Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. I will try to meet those people and listen :)

  • I used to think Americans were crazy when they made click sounds trying to speak an African language.Now i know i am the crazy one who doesn't know my continent.
