Dahalo Tribe

Imagine tribesmen, for whom the sight of any visitors is more than often a huge intrusion. People, who only the elderly among them can speak their language, whose culture has been assimilated and is still under siege, and who are now fighting for their identity.These are the Dahalos, believed to be one of the smallest ethnic groups in Kenya with observers putting their number at 400.

The Dahalo language and people, like the Sandawe and Hadza must have some ancient connection to the Khoisan. How unique that they still survive as far north as they do and that they have intermixed with Cushitic peoples.

Dahalo is an endangered Cushitic language spoken by around 500-600 Dahalo people on the coast of Kenya, near the mouth of the Tana River. Dahalo is unusual among the world's languages in using all four airstream mechanisms found in human language: clicks, implosives, ejectives, and pulmonic consonants.
The Dahalo, former elephant hunters, are dispersed among Swahili and other Bantu peoples, with no villages of their own, and are bilingual in those languages.
It is suspected that the Dahalo may have once spoken a Sandawe- or Hadza-like language, and that they retained clicks in some words when they shifted to Cushitic, because many of the words with clicks are basic vocabulary. If so, the clicks represent a substratum.
Dahalo is also called Sanye, a name shared with neighboring Waata, also spoken by former hunter-gatherers. The Waata may once have spoken a language more like Dahalo before shifting to Oromo.
