This is showing that Linguistics points to the Khoe pre-Dutch ancestors being San and Tswana-Matchapi Bantu. Their language still uses the Tswana-Matchapi phrases slightly changed.
Thank you mates. I am Namibian and I feel very bad not that I can speak other languages which include Chinese but not Damara. I am gonna challenge it. I bet.
There other q on the palette is not really considered a click in Xhosa... it's mostly used by those who can't have the q with the tip of the tongue. I mostly use that click when my pallet is itchy
We use hi-i in Jamaica...I knew our creole is a mixture of various languages and dialects but had no idea of something called a "click language " until today...how very interesting...
Wonderful video! It seems to me that they are saying some phrases a bit differently. Are there just different ways of saying it, are they regional differences, or do men and women say some things differently? Thanks for posting!
please write us about your stay in Namibia on our site ( w w w ) solarnet ( d o t ) tv We even got a Namibia Forum there. We came back three weeks ago and we brought tons of new material to learn the language.
I just want to say that it is wrong to say that 'its a pity' means '/Khommi...... its utterly wrong /Khommi refers to Grace,while being sorry refers to /Hawi-o te or even //gawa//aete.
Nama = Khoekhoegowab It's the same language, Nama is just called "Khoekhoegowab" in Nama. And yes, there are several Khoisan languages with clicks. And also some Bantu ones.
What would they know about that? My grandma/grandpa have used that expression long before the American influence on Europe, so that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Most of these khoe words are Xhosa, Sesotho & Zulu while other words are greek, estonian, vietnamese and dutch. I find this very weird how most of the khoe words are jst copied from native Bantu languages rather than being separate from them
You know, if it were just the clicks and the weird (and kinda ugly) orthography, I think I'd be able to do it eventually, but then you add the tones.... I freaking despise tonal languages. How do you express emotion in a tonal language?! I dont get!!
interesting indeed, I feel bad for my ignorance being a Southern African..I am challenging myself from now on. Thank you.
more lessons are on the way :) We did them together with the children of the Primary School in Baumgartsbrunn / Namibia.
Nama people have the most ancient genetics among all known humans in the universe...haplogroup A!
I'm going to be traveling to Namibia soon, and your lessons are very helpful! Thank you for posting these.
please continue with this good lessons i enjoy very much and it has been missing
How to say "I cannot pronounce it" in Khoekhoe?
Now I want to learn this language. Sounds like a true challenge.

my beautiful language😇
it's a very nice introduction to the language,and a very cute one too,especially when the woman smurcks at 2:18:)
👍👍 more Khoekhoegowab videos
vraiment impressionnant !!
that's wonderful. Then it gives me energy to continue to work on next lessons.
"i dont understand" the one i would probably use the most, is the most difficult to say..... great.... lol
Lol this is easy for Zulu and Xhosa speakers like myself.Althou we don't have as many clicks as the khoi but this is kinda fun
There other q on the palette is not really considered a click in Xhosa... it's mostly used by those who can't have the q with the tip of the tongue. I mostly use that click when my pallet is itchy
I didn't know that every time I send my cat away I speak the KhoeKhoegowab language fluently.
In Setswana Toxopa is kekopa and the word that would sound similar is Go gopa meaning to beg or suck up.
Beautiful beyond description.
This is the most ancient language on earth! Mother of all languages.
Zakharii no it’s not and it has no influence on any languages outside of sub Saharan Africa
@@BrennenKing-d5w Don't be so sure!
so does asseblief "tog" come from "toxoba"?... I wonder... hi-i is still around even though the language is different
We use hi-i in Jamaica...I knew our creole is a mixture of various languages and dialects but had no idea of something called a "click language " until today...how very interesting...

Just like everywhere. Same in the Netherlands.
I love this,so amazing.
Xhosa speakers in pole position to pick up the lingo, yay
How do you make the ! sound so loud? I can sort of get it (I think) but I cannot manage to get any volume behind it... :D
Beautiful!
wow this language is beautiful and i want to learn it but its also so difficult. i only understood and remembered how to pronounce /
ok its 4 am, i will rewatch first lesson tomorrow bye
please write us about your stay in Namibia on our site ( w w w ) solarnet ( d o t ) tv

We came back three weeks ago and we brought tons of new material to learn the language.
we are going to teach you :D
how do they do that
Yeah I really don't understand now. Thought the subtitle was an error message on youtube lol. This language is awesome though.
I will no longer complain that Chinese is complicated.
The click sounds are just regular consonants of their language, which is in fact called Nama.
It is beautiful. It makes me salivate.
@FrapaneseGirl
you are definitely doing it wrong :) the clics are produced while inhaling so no spiting is even possible. Keep on exercising :D
Love the part when the woman says "I" for the second time
beautiful
you guys are freaks, i am gonna save this to favourites and watch it one time a day and then i will perfectly speak khoekhoe when we go to namibia!
I think that's pretty universal. uhh-uhh means no here in norway as well.
What is the translation for the word "Hope"?
I noticed that the girl says some things differently from the boy. Do males and females speak the language differently?
why is there different pronunciation? is it like different pronunciation for male and female?
No its only the way they Speak Personality wise
Im trying to master it.
Dictionary(dot)com says it's chiefly an American word for "no".
I just want to say that it is wrong to say that 'its a pity' means '/Khommi...... its utterly wrong /Khommi refers to Grace,while being sorry refers to /Hawi-o te or even //gawa//aete.

Maybe dna perhaps.really interesting

You got it backwards the bantu words are the dialects copying from the khoe words.
lmao khoekhoegowab is indigenous to namibia and south africa much more than any bantu language
Information
haha funny clicking noises
no males and females don't speak differently... its 1 language 1 speaking way. use either of the tones.
IS THIS HUMAN-BEING LANGUAGE ON THIS PLANET ?????
:/...
this is fucked up
You know, if it were just the clicks and the weird (and kinda ugly) orthography, I think I'd be able to do it eventually, but then you add the tones....
I freaking despise tonal languages. How do you express emotion in a tonal language?! I dont get!!
I’m probably a little late, but I find that the easiest way to learn tonal languages is to say the phrase exactly like the person teaching you.
