Examples
In Africa, the only remaining full-time hunter-gatherers are the Hadza of Tanzania.
Hadza, Sandawe, and several Bantu languages also allow syllable -initial clicks within roots, but in no language does a click close a syllable or end a word.
The Hadza mixed the chalky bits with water and whisked it vigorously for two to three minutes with a stick until it was a thick, milky porridge that was filtered – somewhat – into a mug for my breakfast.
The baobab fruit is the staple of the Hadza diet, packed with vitamins, fat in the seeds, and, of course, significant amounts of fibre.
Sandawe is not related to Hadza, despite their proximity.
Starostin (2013) accepts a relationship between Sandawe and Khoi is plausible, as is one between Tuu and Kx'a, but sees no indication of a relationship between these two groups or with Hadza.
