	Kwadi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kwadi is an extinct Khoisan language of Angola.
		Three speakers were fluent in Kwadi in 1971, but as of 1981 it was thought to be extinct.
		It is generally thought to be part of the Khoe family, and perhaps the most known divergent member of that family.

	Khoisan languages - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Khoisan languages comprise the smallest phylum of African languages.
		They are notable for the use of click consonants as phonemes, including the Kung-ekoka language, which has in excess of 50 click consonants and over 140 separate phonemes, and the !Xóõ language with its giant phoneme inventory and strident and pharyngealized sounds.
		The only other languages using clicks as phonemes are Nguni Bantu languages (a separate phylum) such as Xhosa and Zulu in South Africa, Sesotho (also spoken in South Africa and Lesotho), the South Cushitic Dahalo language, and an artificial ceremonial language called 'Damin', spoken by some Australian Aborigines.

	ǀXam language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ǀXam, or ǀXam Kakǃʼe, is an extinct Khoisan language of South Africa, part of the !Kwi language group.

		Kwadi is widely thought to be related to the Khoe family, but it is quite distinct and little data is available.
		The Khoe languages is both the most numerous and diverse family of Khoisan languages, with seven living languages and over a quarter million speakers.
		Thus their language is variously said to be extinct or to have 16,000 speakers, to be Ju or to be Khoe.

		Languages of this group are spoken in 15 African countries, in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zaire, Uganda, the Sudan, Egypt, Chad, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Niger, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali as well as in parts of Algeria, Libya and the Cameroon.
		The number of languages classified as belonging to this group is still undecided since no definitive criteria has been established to distinguish between language and dialect.
		Languages still spoken are used in Namibia, and Botswana, as well as in small parts of Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

	Extinction
		The culture and knowledge, the worldview and folklore and technical expertise of a people are intimately bound up with their language, and are lost when the language is lost.
		Even where a language survives, it will sometimes be marginalized, reduced to the chatter of emigres around a cafe table.
		Each time one of us dies, a world dies; but when the last speaker of a language dies, it's more than one world - it is the history of many worlds; it is a collective world, and it is gone irretrievably and permanently.

	A Biological Dig for the Roots of Language - FrostCloud Forums
		Languages change so fast, the linguists point out, that their genealogies can be traced back only a few thousand years at best before the signal dissolves completely into noise: witness how hard Chaucer is to read just 600 years later.
		What the daughter languages of proto-Indo-European inherited, he says, was not necessarily the word for wheel but the word "k'el," meaning "to rotate," from which each language may independently have derived its word for wheel.
		Many linguists believe that once two languages have drifted so far apart that they share only 5 percent or so of their vocabulary, chance resemblances will overwhelm the true ones, setting a firm limit on how far back their ancestry can be traced.

	!Kung language - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Herero and Nama languages are becoming more commonly spoken among the Kung-ekoka, and the hunter-gatherer way of life that is typical of the Khoisan-speaking peoples is being eroded by Bantu and Khoi farming settlements.
		The language's word order is Adverb-Subject-Verb-Object, and in this it is similar to English: "the snake bites the man" is represented by ǂ'aama nǃei zhu (ǂ'aama - snake, nǃei - to bite, zhu - man).
		Kung-ekoka uses word and sentence tone contours, and has a very finely differentiated vocabulary for the animals, plants and conditions native to the Kalahari Desert, where the language is spoken.

	Sandawe
		Language use is vigorous among both adults and children, with people in some areas monolingual.
		Sandawe has generally been classified as a Khoisan language since Albert Drexel in the 1920's, due at first just to the presence of clicks in the language, though later several morphological similarities with the Khoisan languages of southern Africa were proposed.
