Collins Chris, Gruber Jeffrey S. A Grammar of ǂHȍã

Köln: Rüdiger Köppe Verlag, 2014. — 212 p. — (Research in Khoisan Studies, Vol. 32).ǂHȍã is a (non-central) Khoisan language spoken south of the Khutse game reserve in Botswana. Some of the places where speakers can be found today are (from west to east): Khekhenye, Tshwaane, Dutlwe, Salajwe and Shorilatholo (and nearby cattle posts). It is closely related to Sàsí, whose speakers are found in eastern Botswana in Bodungwane, Dibete, Mokgenene, Poloka and Lethajwe (and nearby cattle posts). We group ǂHȍã and Sàsí into a group we call ǂ’Amkoe (meaning “person” in both languages). In this grammar, we focus on ǂHȍã, but we occasionally give comparisons to Sàsí where we have the relevant data. We look forward to writing a full grammar and lexicon of Sàsí in the future.
