  Sandawe language Information
Sandawe is a tonal language spoken by about 40,000 people in the Dodoma region of Tanzania.
Sandawe has generally been classified as a Khoisan language since Albert Drexel in the 1920s, 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.
Adjectival concepts are mostly expressed as verbs in Sandawe according to Kagawe (1993:ix).

 The Khoisan Language Family
The Hadza and Sandawe languages in Tanzania are generally classified as Khoisan, but are extremely distant geographically and linguistically from the others.
It is fair to say that of all the language families of the world, the Khoisan languages are among the most neglected by language scholars and the least studied.
There are some exceptions, for instance, the Sandawe language in Tanzania whose speakers have maintained a relatively stable linguistic community.

 Click consonant
Clicks also occur in Sandawe and Hadza, two languages (or rather language groups, once believed to be branches of Khoisan) in Tanzania, and in Dahalo, a South Cushitic language spoken in Kenya.
The only non-African language known to employ clicks as regular speech sounds is Damin, an "alternative code" used by speakers of Lardil (Australia) -- actually an elaborate kind of language game.
In the latter language about 70% of words begin with a click; it's worth noting that with the exception of Sandawe and Hadza click languages permit only word-initial and word-medial clicks, never word-final.

 Sandawe
Sadly, the Hadzabe appear to be heading the same way: much of their land has been taken by commercial plantations and ranches, which also form effective barriers to the seasonal wildlife migrations on which the hunting part of the Hadzabe lifestyle depends, whilst the unwelcome attentions of outsiders is rapidly destroying their culture.
The second group however is still organised in the simplest form of society based on hunting and subsisting mainly on roots and fruits and animal hunting with bows and arrows during the dry season.
The Hadzapi and Sandawe tribes who lived in that region kept their khoisan click language and, numbering only a few thousand, still live in such primitive conditions that they can rightly be considered as today's only survivors, throughout Africa, of the Stone Age civilisation.

 AllRefer.com - African languages : Khoisan (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia
The Khoisan, or Click, linguistic family is made up of three branches: the Khoisan languages of the San (Bushmen) and Khoikhoi, spoken in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa; Sandawe, a language found in E Africa; and Hatsa (Hadzane or Hadzapi), also spoken in E Africa.
Although all the Khoisan languages use click sounds, Sandawe and Hatsa are unlike the other Khoisan tongues and are not related to each other.
All of the Khoisan languages appear to use tones to distinguish meanings, and the Khoikhoi languages and some of the San languages inflect the noun to show case, number, and gender.

 AFRICAN FIRST PEOPLES: THE BUSHWO/MEN
There are however other groups that do not conveniently fall within these divisions but still apparently belong within the overall Khoisan family.
This covers those groups like the Sandawe and Hadza who have some linkage to the Bushmen in terms of Language or culture but have no other more direct links.
Some of these bands are probably the remnants of hunter/gatherer groups who had been largely absorbed by the Bantu agro-pastoralists in pre-history.

 Click consonant at AllExperts
Clicks occur in all the Khoisan languages of southern Africa, and in several neighbouring Bantu languages, such as Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, and Ndebele), Sesotho, Yeyi of Botswana, and the Mbukushu, Kwangali, and Gciriku languages of the Caprivi Strip, which borrowed them from Khoisan languages.
Clicks also occur in Sandawe and Hadza, two languages of Tanzania traditionally classified as Khoisan, as well as in Dahalo, a nearby endangered South Cushitic language of Kenya, which may retain them from an episode of language shift.
Hadza, Sandawe, and several of the Bantu languages also allow syllable-initial clicks within roots, but in no known language does a click close a syllable or end a word.

 Mountain Laboratory of Anthropological Genetics
The Hadzabe and Sandawe, two populations that currently practice (or in the recent past have practiced) a predominantly hunter-gatherer lifestyle, are linguistic isolates whose languages contain click consonants and have been a challenge to classify.
The specific goals of this research project are to characterize genetic variation in the Hadzabe, Sandawe, and neighboring populations; to reconstruct the relationship of these East African populations to one another and to southern African Khoisan-speaking populations; and to test hypotheses regarding the possible origin of modern humans in East Africa.
This research is expected to contribute both to the general knowledge of genetic diversity within sub-Saharan Africa and to the understanding of ancient and historical relationships among East African populations.

Tishkoff accomplished the main goal of her trip: She collected DNA samples from members of the Hadza and Sandawe peoples, two indigenous groups who speak different dialects of click-based languages.
She hopes to determine whether the two peoples are related -- and if they are related to the Kung San, who live well to the south but speak a similar tongue.
Tishkoff collected blood and cheek-cell samples from many Sandawe and 150 of the less than 1,000 remaining Hadza.

In the African bush, from the Sandawe, Hazda, Maasai and other peoples whose footprints have dusted the pathways of ancient civilization, University of Maryland molecular anthropologist Tishkoff has been gathering thousands of DNA samples that may help confirm one theory of our beginnings.
The connection between populations who speak a click language, the language spoken by the Africans in the film "The Gods Must Be Crazy." The DNA shows that different peoples who use click language but live hundreds of miles apart, may be related.
Says Tishkoff, "We have been able to show, for the first time, that the Sandawe of East Africa and bushmen from the south of Africa and the southern bushmen of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa share a recent common ancestry, within about 35,000 years.

 Study: 'Eve' Came From East Africa   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When the Tanzanian test subset was compared with existing genetic data, Tanzania and other East African countries, such as Kenya and Ethiopia, displayed the most diversity, and are therefore likely the oldest mtDNA in Africa.
A South African group, the !Kung san, also speak with a click language and previously were thought to be one of Africa's oldest populations.
Because genetic studies reveal the !Kung san and Sandawe share a common ancestor from 37,000 years ago, Tishkoff and her team now believe the !Kung san may have originated in East Africa and later migrated southward.
