Information from: “The twelve modern Khoisan languages” . Matthias Brenzinger (2011)
"In 1996, Hiroshi Nakagawa, started his long term research on the ǀGui language. In the CKGR, Nakagawa distinguished three dialect varieties spoken at different settlements. After the ǀGui were resettled in 1997, dialectal variants have most likely merged, as the majority of ǀGui speakers now live in one place, New Xade (Kxoensakene), which is also home to speakers of ǁGana (Nakagawa, p.c.)."
"Before 1997, ǀGui and ǁGana used to live in Xade and other settlements inside the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). According to [Hiroshi] Nakagawa, ǀGui speakers in the mid-1990s were found scattered to 15 settlements. In April 2000, Akira Takada counted 1002 Gǀui and Gǁana at New Xade (Kxoenssakene)"

"The traditional area of the /Gwi and the //Gana is the Central Kalahari Game Reserve... Today we know that quite a few members of these groups live on or close to the Ghanzi farms."

"Since G|ui and G||ana are mutually intelligible, communication between G|ui and G||ana speakers was usually conducted in such a way that a G|ui spoke G|ui and a G||ana spoke G||ana in a conversation."

"In accordance with Botswana Government policy to relocate all settlements in the CKGR, most of the G|ui residents in the Reserve moved to a new settlement outside the Reserve. The resettlement of residents in Xade started in May 1997 and ended in August 1997 (Sugawara 1998: 88). The area for resettlement is located on the northern side of the Xade-Ghanzi road about 70 km to the 13 west of Xade (see Figure 1.1). The new settlement is officially called 'New Xade.'"
