Taa /ˈtɑː/, also known as !Xóõ (ǃKhong, ǃXoon – pronounced /kǃxóŋ/, English /ˈkoʊ/), is a Khoisan language notable for its large number of phonemes, perhaps the largest in the world. Most speakers live in Botswana, but a few hundred live in Namibia. The people call themselves ǃXoon (pl. ǃXooŋake) or ʼNǀohan (pl. Nǀumde), depending on the dialect they speak.Taa is the word for 'human being'; the local name of the language is Taa ǂaan, from ǂaan 'language'.
