The Kx'a languages, also called Ju–ǂHoan, are a recently established family linking the ǂHoan language isolate with the ǃKung (Juu) dialect cluster, a relationship that had been suspected for a decade. Along with the Tuu languages, they are one of two language families indigenous to southern Africa, which are typologically similar due to areal effects.
Famous quotes containing the word languages:
“I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigree of nations.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
