This account of the |Xam language is envisaged as a contribution that will help to restore part of South Africa’s intangible cultural heritage; enrich our understanding of our undocumented history; and, enable work of greater scholarly authenticity when it comes to interdisciplinary studies of the great corpus of |Xam stories and other narratives collected by Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd during the 19th century, said Menán du Plessis, who is affiliated to the Department of General Linguistics at Stellenbosch University.
