ǃGãǃne (ǃGãǃnge) is an extinct language or dialect of the ǃKwi family which was once spoken near Tsolo and in Umtata District in South Africa , south of Lesotho. It is very poorly attested, with the only material being 140 words collected from two semi-speakers in 1931.[2]
Like ǁXegwi, ǃGãǃne is considered an "outlier" among the ǃKwi languages by Güldemann (2005, 2011), but agnostically listed as just another variety of ǃKwi in Güldemann (2019).[3]
