How do you say hello in khoisan?

In Khoisan languages, greetings can vary significantly among different groups. One common way to say hello in the !Xóõ language, which is one of the Khoisan languages, is "ǃXó," pronounced with a click sound. However, it's important to note that Khoisan encompasses a diverse range of languages, each with its own unique greetings.


What are the similarities of the khoikhoi and san people?

They were two completely different ethnic groups of South Africa, who lived around the Cape of Good Hope when the Dutch first settled there. The biggest and probably the most important difference between them was the Khoikhoi were herders whereas the Khoisan (bushmen) were huntergatherers. Shortly after the arrival of the Europeans, epidemics such as smallpox decimated the numbers of the Khoikhoi, and they eventually disappeared completely. The colored (of mixed ethnic groups) people of the Cape today are mostly their descendants. The Khoisan on the other hand didn't quite live by the idea of ownership, and found the domesticated herds of the Europeans and other black ethnic groups (especially the Xhosa's and Zulus) easy prey. The mentioned groups thus literally hunted the Khoisan and eventually drove them into the Kalahari where I believe a few families still live.
