Map Description:
This map depicts the distribution of Khoisan languages in the early colonial period. During this time, southern Africa hosted two genetically unrelated language groups: Khoe (Central Khoisan), which belongs to the Khoe-Kwadi family; and Tuu (Southern Khoisan), which has been placed with Ju (Northern Khoisan) and ǂHõa, a language isolate, in a non-genetic typological grouping called Non-Khoe on the basis of morphosyntactic similarities.
