Khoi - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The Khoikhoi ("men of men") or Khoi are a division of the Khoisan ethnic group of south-western Africa, closely related to the Bushmen (San). They have lived in this area for about 30,000 years.
They were once known to Europeans as the Hottentots, a name that is now considered derogatory (it means "stutterer" in Dutch (although the Dutch use the word "stotteraar" more), describing the clicking sounds used in the Khoisan languages). The word lives on, however, in the names of several African animal and plant species, such as the Hottentot Fig or Carpobrotus Fig, Carpobrotus edulis.
