Public Comment
"Namibia 9000 [speakers]; Botswana 2000; RSA 3700; Angola 1000 [...] for most areas the numbers of speakers of the !Xun dialect cluster are still preliminary guesses. The main problem with figures for !Xun speakers is the lack of demographic and linguistic surveys in Angola. Furthermore, most !Xun live scattered on farms, a setting which doesn’t allow for an easy collection of reliable data on language use patterns."
