The term "Khoisan" refers to a group of indigenous peoples in southern Africa, primarily known for their unique languages and cultural practices. This group is often divided into two main categories: the Khoikhoi, who were traditionally pastoralists, and the San, who are primarily hunter-gatherers. Both groups have a rich history and are recognized for their deep connection to the land. Khoisan languages are notable for their use of click consonants, which are rare in the world's languages. These languages are part of the larger Khoe family and are considered some of the oldest languages still spoken today. The Khoisan peoples have faced significant challenges due to colonization and modern development, impacting their traditional ways of life.
