N|uuki, Namagowab, Afrikaans, English : ‡Xoaki‡xanisi, Mîdi di ‡Khanis, Woordeboek, Dictionary

This dictionary features two dialects of the N|uu language (Eastern and Western), as well as Nama, Afrikaans and South African English. This dictionary was not simply translated in standard varieties of Nama and Afrikaans, but was based on fieldwork conducted with speakers of these languages living in previously N|uu-speaking areas, i.e., South African Nama and 'Onse Afrikaans'. These languages and dialects show evidence of their influence on one another over time.
