Gǁana language

Gǁana (pronounced /ˈɡɑːnə/ GAH-nə in English, and also spelled ǁGana, ǁ᪶Ana, Gxana, Dxana, Xgana) is a Khoe language and dialect cluster of Botswana. It is closely related to Naro, and includes the well-known dialect Gǀwi, which has the majority of speakers.

The double pipe at the beginning of the name "Gǁana" represents a click like the English interjection used when saying giddy-ap to a horse. For the clicks and other sounds found in Gǁana, see Gǀwi dialect.
