ǂUngkue is an extinct ǃKwi language or dialect of the Vaal River region of South Africa , with records of it being spoken in Warrenton. It was recorded by Carl Meinhof, and was closely related to the neighboring ǁKā language (or dialect) recorded by Dorothea Bleek; they in turn are related to Nǁng, which has a single remaining speaker as of 2023. It has the Bleek label SIIb.
Like ǀXam, ǂUngkue used 'inclusory' pronouns for compound subjects:
