Language family
The Kxʼa /ˈkɑː/ KAH languages, also called Ju–ǂHoan /ˌdʒuːˈhoʊæn/ joo-HOH-an, is a language family established in 2010 linking the ǂʼAmkoe (ǂHoan) language with the ǃKung (Juu) dialect cluster, a relationship that had been suspected for a decade.[1] Along with the Tuu languages and Khoe languages, they are one of three language families indigenous to southern Africa, which are typologically similar due to areal effects.
