Humankind's oldest languages! The Khoisan Click Languages. | The African Nomad

The original "click languages" are Khoisan languages. Some of the oldest languages on earth. Most of those languages today are endangered, and several are moribund or extinct. Today, Southern Bantu (Nguni) languages like Xhosa, Swati, Northern Ndebele and Zulu have clicks in them as a result of mixing with the Khoisan people. So there is no one click language, there are many in Southern Africa and in Tanzania. Sodwana, spoken in Tanzania is a click language that is part of the Khoisan language g

The Khoisan people of Southern Africa are known for their incredible “click” languages—considered some of the oldest spoken tongues in the world. These languages use a series of distinct clicking sounds made with the tongue, creating a rhythm unlike any other on Earth. More than just communication, it’s a living link to humanity’s earliest voices, connecting today’s Khoisan to one of the deepest roots of human history.
