Khoikhoi (Khoisan-speaking peoples styles, Southern African, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to the people and culture of southern Africa whom the first European explorers found in areas of the hinterland and who now live either in European settlements or on official reserves in South Africa or Namibia. Most Khoikhoi are either Nama or Oorlams, the latter term denoting remnants of the "Cape Hottentots" together with many of hybrid descent. The main Nama concentrations are the Bondelswarts, Rooinasie, Swartboois, and Topnaars; the main Orlams groups are the Witbooi, Amraal, Berseba, and Bethanie. The Khoikhoi are not easily distinguishable physically from the San, the Khoikhoi's slightly taller stature and decidedly longer and narrower head being the only marked differences.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指稱非洲南部的一個民族與其文化,是第一批歐洲探險家在未開拓地區發現的民族,現居於歐洲移民聚居區或是南非或納米比亞境內的國家保護區。大部分的科伊科伊人屬納馬人或奧爾拉姆人,奧爾拉姆人是指「開普霍屯督人」殘存的後代以及與許多其他種族混血生下的後裔。納馬人族群主要包含邦德斯瓦特人、魯因納西人、札特布人和托普納爾人;奧爾拉姆人則主要由威特布人、埃姆拉人、伯塞巴人和伯沙尼人組成。科伊科伊民族與桑民族在體型上較難區分,主要差異在科伊科伊人身材略高且頭顱明顯較窄長。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar het volk en de cultuur in zuidelijk Afrika die de eerste Europese ontdekkingsreizigers aantroffen in gebieden in het achterland. De Khoikhoi leven nu in Europese nederzettingen of in officiële reservaten in Zuid-Afrika of Namibië. De meeste Khoikhoi zijn Nama of Oorlams. Deze laatste naam wijst op verwantschap met de 'Kaapse Hottentotten'. Daarnaast zijn veel Khoikhoi van gemengde afkomst. De grootste Nama-groepen zijn de Bondelswarts, Rooinasie, Swartboois en Topnaars; de grootste Oorlams-groepen zijn de Witbooi, Amraal, Berseba en Bethanie. Er zijn geen grote lichamelijke verschillen tussen de Khoikhoi en de San; de enige duidelijke verschillen zijn het iets grotere postuur en het onmiskenbaar langere en smallere hoofd van de Khoikhoi. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere los pueblos y culturas del sur de África encontrados por los primeros exploradores europeos en las áreas interiores y que ahora viven tanto en asentamientos europeos como en reservas oficiales de Sudáfrica o Namibia. La mayoría de los Khoikhoi son tanto Nama o Oorlams, este último término denota remanentes de los "hotentotes del Cabo" junto a varios descendientes híbridos. Las principales concentraciones Nama corresponden a los Bondelswarts, Rooinasie, Swartboois y Topnaars; los principales grupos Oorlams son los Witbooi, Amraal, Berseba y Bethanie. Los Khoikhoi no se distinguen físicamente de manera fácil de los San. Las únicas diferencias marcadas son, que los Khoikhoi son ligeramente más altos en estatura y definitivamente poseen cabezas más alargadas y angostas.
