Naro language

From Free net encyclopedia

Naro is a Khoe language of Botswana and Namibia. There are about 14,000 speakers: 10,000 in Botswana (2004 Cook) and 4000 in Namibia (1998 Maho). This makes it probably the most populous of the Tshu-Khwe languages. There is currently a dictionary of the Naro language.
