Endangered 'Click' Languages of the Kalahari

Available for over a year

An audio-exploration of the click languages of the Khoisan peoples of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana by sound artist John Wynne. This composed documentary uses atmospheric recordings of the people and the natural sounds of Botswana, interwoven with commentary from speakers talking about the pressures eroding their traditional life and languages, many of which will not survive to be spoken by the next generation.
