Taa

Taa, also known as ǃXóõ, and formerly called by the dialect name ǂHoan, is a Tuu language notable for its large number of phonemes, perhaps the largest in the world. It is also notable for having perhaps the heaviest functional load of click consonants, with one count finding that 82% of basic vocabulary items started with a click. Most speakers live in Botswana, but a few hundred live in Namibia. The people call themselves ǃXoon or ʼNǀohan, corresponding to the dialect they speak. In 2011, there were around 2,500 speakers of Taa.
