ǂKxʼaoǁʼae (English pronunciation: , native pronunciation: ), also rendered ǂKxʼauǁʼein ( ), or Gobabi ǃKung (Gobabis-ǃXû), is an eastern dialect of the Southern ǃKung language, spoken in Botswana (the settlements of Groote Laagte, East Hanahai, Kanagas and Ghanzi in Ghanzi District and on the commercial farms) and in Namibia (the city of Gobabis and settlements along the C22 road to Otjinene as far as Eiseb, Omaheke Region) by about 7,000 people. In Botswana, most speakers are bilingual in Naro or Tswana.
There are numerous spellings of the name, including ǁAuǁei, ǁXʼauǁʼe, and Auen. Endonyms are Juǀʼhoan(si), ǃXun in Namibia and ǂXʼaoǁʼaen (predominantly in Botswana), meaning "northern people" in Naro. It also goes by the names Gobabis ǃKung and Kaukau (which can take the noun class prefixes in Tswana to give Mokaukau for one person, Bakaukau for the group and Sekaukau for the language).
