Languages
- ǂHoan (60 speakers, Botswana. Moribund.)
- ǃKung (also ǃXun or Ju, formerly Northern Khoisan) is a single dialect cluster. (≈50,000 speakers.)
ǂHoan had previously been lumped in with the Tuu languages, perhaps over confusion with its name, but the only thing they have in common are typological features such as their bilabial clicks.
Heine & Honken (2010) coined the term Kx'a for the family as a replacement for the rather inaccessible compound Ju–ǂHoan (easily confused with the Juǀʼhoan language), after the word 'earth, ground', which is shared by the two branches of the family, though also by neighboring languages such as Kwadi.
