Ju/'hoan (also called Zu|'hõasi, Dzu'oasi, Zû-|hoa) is a Khoisan language spoken in the Northwest District of Botswana along the border with Namibia by about 5,000 people (2002). It is classified as a Northern Khoisan language, related to such languages as Kung-ekoka (!Xűű) and =/Kx'au//'ein. Among the Northern Khoisan languages, it constitutes the Southern dialect cluster according to Snyman (1997). Four varieties are distinguished: Epukiro, Tsumkwe, Rundu, and Omatako
