COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA: "Hessel and Coby Visser supported the standardization of Naro and fostered literacy in this language. The language is an important feature of Naro identity and language loyalty among Naro might be the strongest of all Khoisan speaking communities. Naro is one of the dominant languages in the Ghanzi district and there is a certain level of standardization reached through decades of language work done by the Kuru Development Trust."

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA UBICACIÓN: "The majority of Naro speakers work on commercial farms in the Ghanzi area. However, there are still some Naro villages, such as East- and West-Hanahai with 300 inhabitants each, and D’Kar with 1000 Naro inhabitants. About 1000 Naro speakers live in the bordering area in Namibia."

"According to Guenther (1986a) there are 9,000 Naro, 5,000 in Botswana and 4,000 in Namibia. Barnard (1992:135) gives the more modest figure 'more than 6,000'. According to Visser (1994) there are closer to 6,000 than to 15,000 Naro in Botswana. Hasselbring's estimation is that there are 8,000 Naro in the Ghanzi district (Hasselbring 1996:7). Whichever figure is most correct, we can conclude that the Naro is one of the major Khoisan groups. They may constitute something like 10 per cent of the Khoisan speaking people in Botswana."

COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA: "It is probably not the case today that Naro attracts new speakers from other non-Khoisan groups, but among the Khoisan languages it is clear that Naro is one of the stronger languages. To some extent, Naro is used as a lingua franca among other Khoisan speakers in the Ghanzi area."

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA UBICACIÓN: "The Naro live along the Ghanzi Ridge, a 100-150 km wide ridge of sedentary and volcanic formation which runs along the road from Sandfontein to Maun. In fact, the road was built along the ridge. The area is rich in water and has been the traditional area of the Naro."
