===Name===
The name '''Khoekhoe''' is now generally preferred in Khoisan studies.

Alternative names are
* [[Nama]], [[Nama Hottentot]] (Hagman 1977)
* [[Namaqua]]
* [[Hottentot]]

===Location===
Khoekhoe is spoken throughout Namibia, except in the most northern part of the country, and in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

===Speakers===
There are about 30,000 speakers. They belong to two distinct groups: (i) The Namas in the area to the south of Windhoek, (ii) the Damaras (or Bergdamas) in the area to the north of Windhoek (Hagman 1977:1).

Most Khoekhoe speakers also speak Afrikaans as a second language, and some also speak [[English]], or [[Herero]] (Hagman 1977:1).
