KOMMENTARE ZUM SPRACHKONTEXT
"Since the late 1970's some parts of the Bible have been translated into ≠Kx'au//'ein through the Bible Society of Namibia."
"Most of the people in the Ghanzi District speak two or more languages. More people said that they speak Tswana as a second language than any other language. However, people often indicated that they spoke other languages more fluently than Tswana. This was especially true for speakers of ≠Kx'au//'ein, many of whom said they speak Naro better than Tswana
