- Rechtschreibung
"Several orthographies for Ju|'hoan have been published during the last decades (1969, 1987 and 1991)... Some parts of the Bible have been translated into the language.
Some years ago, Patrick Dickens designed a new more practical orthography for Ju|'hoan, the purpose of which was to increase literacy among the Ju|'hoansi. This is now the official orthography for Ju|'hoan in Namibia... The practical literacy work carried out in northern Namibia has been very successful and today quite a few of the Ju|'hoansi are literate in their own language."
- ORTSBESCHREIBUNG
"Most Ju|'hoansi live to the west of the Okavango towards the Namibian border and into the neighbouring parts of Namibia."

"The truth of the matter is that Ju/'hoansi as a Khoesan language is a minority language and is looked down upon by government and citizens of Botswana."
"There is no use for this language outside the speech community, with few exceptions. Worse still, this language is not used in schools."
