ǁŨǁʼe, also rendered ǁKu-ǁʼe or ǁKuǁe,[2] is an extinct ǃKwi language or dialect of South Africa, spoken near Theunissen in South Africa, and recorded by Dorothea Bleek in 1928. It was labeled "SIIc" in her classification. It is closely related to Seroa, but analysis of the recorded data has not been enough to determine the boundary between language and dialect.[3]
