Здесь представлены краткие справки по фонетике и грамматике языков
Койсанской макросемьи,
взятые с проекта глобальной этимологической базы данных "Вавилонская башня" Сергея Старостина.
Эти сведения будут затем размещаться в каждом родственном праязыковом этимологическом словнике.
База койсанской этимологии была составлена Г. С. Старостиным.
Это сложная система, достаточно условно объединенная базой по "Макро-койсанской" этимологии,
в которой собран предварительный сравнительный материал по периферийно-койсанским и центрально-койсанским языкам
(две основные койсанские группы, по-видимому, связанные дальним родством),
а также по языкам-изолятам сандаве (скорее всего, также койсанский язык)
и хадза (по-видимому, либо язык, не относящийся к койсанским, либо "смешанный" койсанско-афразийский язык).
Подавляющее большинство всех реконструированных форм принадлежит Г. С. Старостину,
за исключением центрально-койсанских, отражающих систему, реконструированную Р. Фоссеном.
Всего здесь представлено 42 (№№ 1-42) палеоафриканских языковых систем,
распределённых по семьям:
Северо-койсанская
Центрально-койсанская
Южно-койсанская

+ is a front lateral click; || is a back lateral click. According to Baucom, "it should be noted that the distinction between front lateral and back lateral clicks does not occur in any modern Central languae. But the evidence demands a fifth click position in the proto-language. The Southern languages have a fifth labial position, and a few of the Northern languages appear to have the front lateral/back lateral contrast given here. The choice of a front lateral position over a labial position is somewhat arbitrary. It might well be that the empty front lateral with pharyngeal release will prove to be filled by the aspirated dental click." (pp. 4-5) There is no IPA symbol for a front lateral click.
