Comments on speakers
“...when a person speaks Shua khoe, s/he can easily be understood by |Hai khoe or Tshire-Tshire who speak different Khoe languages, and therefore, the interlocutors are very often, if not always, not obliged to switch to the linguistic code of the other when engaged in the same conversation.”
