Lower Nossob an extinct Khoisan language once spoken along the Nossob River on the border of South Africa and Botswana near Namibia. It was closely related to Taa. There are two attested dialects: ǀ’Auni (ǀ’Auo) recorded by Dorothea Bleek and ǀHaasi recorded by Robert Story. ǀ’Auni is the word the former use for themselves; ǀ’Auo (or ǀ’Au) is what they call their language. ǀauni ǁauni Auni are misspellings. Other renderings of the name ǀHaasi are K’uǀha:si Kiǀhasi and Kiǀhazi.
