Taa also known as ǃXóõ is a Tuu language notable for its large number of phonemes, perhaps the largest in the world. It is also notable for having perhaps the heaviest functional load of click consonants, with one count finding that 82% of basic vocabulary items started with a click.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
imagine rap in this language
Can we just talk about how perfect her clicks were? It always amazes me how she's able to have such good pronunciation when certain parts of the videos don't have a audio to go with it. I really commend that.
Must’ve been from constant exposure from a young age
*he. I believe.
@@titan9259 constant exposure to Khoisan clicks in the Philippines?
@@aliabassi8045 videos exist?
@@aliabassi8045 they probably meant exposure to linguistic content, not just clicks.
Imagine a language that has clicks like Taa, strange sounds like Arabic, nasal vowels like in French or Portuguese, tones like Chinese and Vietnamese, a complex grammar such as Latin, Ancient Greek, Hungarian and the Slavic languages, a Japanese-like writing system and a spelling like French, Greek and Tibetan.
😳
@@AutZeroOneGotBanned Exactly.
Everyone: Mandarin and Arabic are hard languages to learn.
Taa People: Lol hold my beer 🍺
Hold my clicks
Taa language is no wear near as hard as those languages
@@countesselizabeth mandarin and arabic are overrated when it comes to hardness
Taa people: do you mean ǂâã?
Hold my ʔ|naa
Ohhh, this language! Actually on my list of most difficult languages.
Thanks Andy :)
Khoisan languages are literally the coolest languages on earth, nothing even comes close
I got to admit. It sounds really cool once you get used to it.
What's not cool is the throat lesions many of them eventually develop as they get older due to the extensive usage of complex phonemes :')
@@franciscodecomayaguela9496 That's an outright lie. It's clicking, you're not getting lesions from it anymore than English speakers are getting tongue lesions from saying "thing", "thread", "this" and "throne".
The phonetic complexity of this language is truly mind-blowing...most consonants sound almost indistinguishable to me. I guess it would be pretty easy for them to imitate other languages thanks to their phonetic inventory
I’m really enjoying the new more in depth format rather than just the sample lexicon and translations
I tried to imitate some of the clicks but i can’t even come close lol. Such a fascinating language.
130 consonants
half of the vocabulary sounds like NAA
But hands down, those clicks are very satisfying to pronounce
Yep! It sounded like that I'm talking and eating at the same time 🤣
Vocabulary:
*click* AAAA
mind blown by this language
i think u put big efforts to produce such amazing videos.
Most complex phonology Language (In Terms of Consonants).
What is "Hello!" in Taa language?
Can you please do the Bassar (Ncam/Ntcham) language of northern Togo ? It is a really interesting language, a fascinating culture and over 2400 years of iron work.
Also, good video as always ☺️
Thank You for your input.
They're amazing ♡
I doubt I'll ever be able to master these sounds in my entire lifetime....
Netflix: Are you still watching?
Somebody's daughter: 4:46
31 vowels? I only can hear 5 vowels and several clicks
Whitout the clicks it sounds like an Uralic or Asian language
the click consonant is quite interesting.
1:20 Khoisan peoples live in southern Africa but their eyes look like East and Southeast Asians. Interesting!
Some of these sounds I can't even tell the difference
I will choke and die if I try to speak in this language
You'll be just fine.
Can you make a video about dongbeiese dialect?(Northeast dialect is also called tongpaiese or dongbei Chinese)I can provide audio if necessary.
Hello Andy.
Thank You.
May we please know what is your first language, and what is your "main" language, the language you speak the most, and the others after that one? Thank You.
Thank You for this video, and Thank You for your work! You're great. Much appreciated.
I believe her 1st language is Tagalog/Pilipino.
I am sure her native language is Tagalog or some other Philippine language
@@SiKedek
Salamat!
Ikinagagalak.
She is so good!
@@ArNeN_osu
Hey!
Do you speak Tagalog?
I just came up with a song with lyrics in Tagalog.
Could you please tell me if this is good Tagalog, and it it would make. sense in Tagalog for thoughts to be put / strung up together like this?
The intonation is similar to that of cantonese and mandarin
Is this the language from the Gods must be crazy ?
Not this variety, but a language known as Ju|'hoan was used.
Taa is !Xóõ
Native to: Botswana, Namibia
Hi Andy 😍❤️
!WOW
Such an awsome language! As a linguist, I've always been interested in languages with such awesome non-pulmonic consonants
This video was so amazing thanks for making my day.
If this made your day comment to give ilovelanguages support!😀😳
Interesting I now very little of these groups.
sound look like middle chinese
Is it a Khoisan language?
Caution! Kindergarten kids are learning ordinal numbers in the comments. Don't disturb them.

The first time I heard of languages with clicks in them was in the movie “the gods must be crazy” lol. A comedy movie. I just looked it up. The name of the main character is Nǃxau ǂToma . So I have no idea how to pronounce his name.
Yeah, that was another language in the San language cluster known as Ju|'hoan.
