The Kx'a languages, also called Ju–ǂHoan, are a family established in 2010 linking the ǂ’Amkoe (ǂHoan) language with the ǃKung (Juu) dialect cluster, a relationship that had been suspected for a decade.〔Honken, H. and Heine, B. 2010. ("The Kx'a Family: A New Khoisan Genealogy" ). ''Journal of Asian and African Studies'' (Tokyo), 79, p. 5–36.〕 Along with the Tuu languages, they are one of two language families indigenous to southern Africa, which are typologically similar due to areal effects. ==Languages== *ǂ’Amkoe (three dialects, (unicode:ǂHȍȁn), Nǃaqriaxe, and Sàsí; moribund) *ǃKung (also ''ǃXun'' or ''Ju,'' formerly ''Northern Khoisan''; a dialect cluster) (unicode:ǂ’Amkoe) had previously been lumped in with the Tuu languages, perhaps over confusion with the dialect name (unicode:ǂHȍȁn), but the only thing they have in common are typological features such as their bilabial clicks. Honken & Heine (2010) coined the term ''Kx'a'' for the family as a replacement for the rather inaccessible compound ''Ju–ǂHoan'' (easily confused with the Juǀʼhoan language), after the word 'earth, ground', which is shared by the two branches of the family, though also by neighboring languages such as Kwadi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kx'a languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
