Ouma Katrina is one of a few people left who can speak the indigenous Khoisan language

Ouma Katrina is one of a few people left who can speak the indigenous Khoisan language. She opened a school in Upington to pass on her knowledge, but it was vandalised during the lockdown. #Newzroom405's Zinhle Kanyane filed this report.

    It's tought at times to preserve a "dead" (meaning not evolving) language. Since new words and ideas are invented every day. Lots of languages out there don't have words for technology things like email or telemarketing. Even a word like laser can be very difficult to translate into an old language.

    There is no such thing as "The Khoisan Language." There are many Khoisan Languages. Be accurate, she is the last N|uu speaker. We still have thousands Khoekhoe, Khwedam and and X!un speakers in South Africa. There are also still a few who say they speak Korana.

    Well if her dialect is one of the ones on the bridge of extinction then it must be preserved & protected. I think that's what they're trying to say. But Khoisan clicking langugage is very beautiful & exotic. People seem to be very well mannered & nice of the few videos I watched. I would love to visit them in their nature one day. Very welcoming people.

    Khoisan, was, is and never will be, it was a collective name given to a once proud people by a German anthropologist and Zoologist called Leonhard Schulze, around 1926 in Namibia. The fact people use the term Khoisan shows a lack of respect and a lack not knowledge. The truth will set you free. Khoisan is a derogatory term !khwena/Quena Xhaam/Xam are the real names as a collective and the names like Nama Korana Hessequa Attaqua etc are clan or names that indicate which area you come from. Let's revive a culture under attack with truth.
