ǂHõã
Hi Cc,

Do you have access to the full phonemic inventory for ǂHõã? All I've been able to dig up are the clicks. The pronoun system would also be cool if you have it. kwami (talk) 01:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kwamikagami,

I am not sure if I am responding to you in the right way. Is there another way?

Yes, I have the information you asked about. It will take me a while to put it up. Is there a standard grammatical template on Wikipedia? If not, I could help develop one.

 * You could respond on my Talk page, but I was watching yours, so either way works.


 * There isn't any standard grammatical template that I'm aware of.


 * I've been hoping to get at least a phonemic inventory for at least one language in every 'branch' of Khoisan, so it'd be nice if you could cover ǂHõã. No hurry, though. kwami (talk) 07:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You wouldn't happen to be the CC, would you? Well, I did revert one of your edits: Bilabial clicks are known outside southern Africa, though marginally: Damin, which was apparently a constructed ritual language in Australia, now apparently abandoned, and Hadza, where it occurs in one apparently mimetic word, and which today is labialized nasal (an expression of thanks when meeting long-lost kin, and often accompanied with a kissing gesture, but treated as a noun in that it takes a possessive suffix agreeing with the person you're thankful for), though in the 1970s it was transcribed as  (other glottalized clicks are prenasalized after vowels). kwami (talk) 07:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
