 !Kung language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

Language is an essential constituent of our existence as human beings.  We love to talk about anything with or without sense.  We are immersed into the sea of language.  Language is so vital in our life that we can rightly say that we ourselves are language or we are language.
The phenomenon of language is essentially interwoven with a variety of social contexts or situations.  Understanding language more profoundly necessarily entails a serious consideration of its social aspect.  Language inheres in a matrix of a speech community.  The members of the speech community "share a particular language.
The researcher followed the same procedure he had in the first phase---students were asked to write at least 15 teenage words with their corresponding meanings on a one-fourth sheet of paper.  They accomplished this in ten minutes.  Some of them gave more than 15 words.

 Tagalog Word Order -- 2nd Update
The first thing that one has to realize is that there is NO single word order in Tagalog, because one can transpose sentences in many different ways and the essential meaning may remain the same.
Compared to the English language, for example, Tagalog is not based on syntax.
Rather it is very much a semantic language, where context plays a major role in understanding the meaning of sentences.

Short, saffron-colored, and in other respects physically unlike the Nganguela, Ovambo, and Nyaneka-Humbe, they spoke a language of the !Xu-Angola or Maligo set of tongues referred to as Khoisan or Click languages (the exclamation point denotes a specific kind of click), whose precise relations to each other are not yet fully understood by observers.
Several other hunting and gathering or herding groups, the members of which were taller and otherwise physically more like the local Bantu speakers, lived farther west, adjacent to the Ovambo and Herero.
These people spoke Bantu languages and were less nomadic than the Khoisan speakers, but they were clearly different from the Ovambo and Herero and probably preceded them in the area.
