"In 1996, Hiroshi Nakagawa, started his long term research on the ǀGui language. In the CKGR, Nakagawa distinguished three dialect varieties spoken at different settlements. After the ǀGui were resettled in 1997, dialectal variants have most likely merged, as the majority of ǀGui speakers now live in one place, New Xade (Kxoensakene), which is also home to speakers of ǁGana (Nakagawa, p.c.)."
