  The Khoisan Language Family
Kxoe is used as a spoken, but not a written language in primary schools i.e., textbooks are in English.
Many of the Khoisan languages have five vowels /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/ which can be produced with additional features, such as nasalization, pharyngealization, and different voice qualities such as breathy and creaky voice, sometimes resulting in up to 40 different vowels.
In Kxoe, for example, genders in inanimate nouns are also associated with shape, e.g., masculine is associated with long, narrow objects, while feminine is associated with short, broad, round objects.
