Taa language

Taa /ˈtɑː/, also known as !Xóõ (ǃKhong, ǃXoon – pronounced /ǃ͡χɔ̃ː˦/, English /ˈkoʊ/), is a Khoisan language notable for its large number of phonemes, perhaps the largest in the world. Most speakers live in Botswana, but a few hundred live in Namibia. The people call themselves ǃXoon (pl. ǃXooŋake) or ʼNǀohan (pl. Nǀumde), depending on the dialect they speak. Taa shares a number of characteristic features with West ǂ’Amkoe and Gǀui, which together are considered part of the Kalahari Basin sprachbund.
