ǂUngkue is an extinct ǃKwi speech variety of the Vaal River region of South Africa, with records of it being spoken in Warrenton. It was recorded by Carl Meinhof, and was closely related to the neighboring ǁKā dialect recorded by Dorothea Bleek; they in turn are related to Nǁng, which has a single remaining speaker as of 2023. ǂUngkue has the Bleek label SIIb.
Like ǀXam, ǂUngkue used 'inclusory' pronouns for compound subjects:
