Comments on writing systems:
"In 2001, the Khwe and ||Anikhwedam speaking communities came together with language experts and met in Windhoek to discuss their own language development... Both the Khwe and ||Anikhwe agreed to use the Cologne University's Khwe orthography, but with minor changes to make it more community friendly and to be able to be used on southern African keyboards."
