== Dialects ==
There is a division between the northernmost dialects, formerly known as Angolan ǃKung or Northern ǃKung, and the more southern dialects of northernmost Namibia, which are known as Western ǃKung or North-Central ǃKung, as well as between them and the eastern dialect of Kavango ǃKung. These northern dialects include:

*Angolan (Northern) ǃKung, originally of Southern Angola, which is situated around the [[Cunene River|Cunene]], [[Cubango River|Cubango]], [[Cuito]], and [[Cuando River]]s;
::(N1) Maligo (''ǃxuun, kúándò ǃxuun'' "Kwando ǃXuun", southeast Angola);
::(N2) ǃʼOǃKung (''ǃʼo ǃuŋ'' "Forest ǃXuun"; east central Angola);
*[[Ekoka ǃKung|Western (North-Central) ǃKung]] (ǃKung-Ekoka), of northern Namibia, between the Ovambo River and the Angolan border, around the tributaries of the [[Okavango River]] east of [[Rundu]] to the [[Etosha pan|Etosha Pan]];
::(W1) — (''ǃxūún, ǃʼālè ǃxòān'' "Valley ǃXuun"; [[Eenhana Constituency|Eenhana district]], northern Namibia);
::(W2) ǀʼAkhwe (''ǃxūún, ǀʼākhòè ǃxòān'' "Kwanyama ǃXuun"; Eenhana, northern Namibia);
::(W3) Tsintsabis (''ǃxūún''; Tsintsabis, Tsumeb district, northern Namibia);
*(K) Kavango ǃKung (''ǃxūún'', known as ''dom ǃxūún'' "River ǃXuun" in Ekoka; Western Rundu district, northern Namibia, & Angola adjacent)

The Okongo, Ovambo, and Mpunguvlei dialects may duplicate (W1) and (K) or be additional forms.

A dialect of Angolan Sekele currently being investigated by [[linguist]]s has been labeled '''Mangetti Dune ǃKung''', and is spoken by a resettled diaspora community of 500–1000 in Namibia and [[South Africa]] in the settlements of Mangetti Dune and Omtaku, east of [[Grootfontein]], Namibia; and in Schmidtsdrif, west of [[Kimberley, South Africa]].
