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:
“No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
