Location Description
"Spoken by small groups of people spread out over a large part of southern Botswana... the relevant area is more than 500km from Sekoma in the east to Aminuis (in Namibia) in the west. From Takatswane in the north to Makopong in the south, the distance is approximately 300km... The speakers live in small groups and it is not the case that all the groups are in contact with one another."
