ǃGãǃne (ǃGãǃnge) is an extinct language or dialect of the ǃKwi family which was once spoken near Tsolo and in Mthatha District in South Africa, south of Lesotho. It is very poorly attested, with the only material being 140 words collected from two semi-speakers in 1931.Anthony Traill, "The Khoisan Languages of South Africa", in Rajend Mesthrie, ed., 1995, Language and Social History: Studies in South African SociolinguisticsTom Güldemann. 2019.
