ǃGãǃne (ǃGãǃnge) is an extinct language or dialect of the ǃKwi family which was once spoken near Tsolo and in Umtata District in South Africa, south of Lesotho. It is very poorly attested, with the only material being 140 words collected from two semi-speakers in 1931.[2]

Like ǁXegwi, ǃGãǃne is considered an "outlier" among the ǃKwi languages by Güldemann (2005, 2011), but agnostically listed as just another variety of ǃKwi in Güldemann (2019).[3]
