'''Hottentot''' was the name given to those of Khoi descent by the British in ***?? (later often and very denigratingly, pronounded "Hotnot") It apparently derives from ?*. In the 19th and 20th centuries, as the numbers of “pure”  “Hottentots” dwindling, the term was denigratingly and incorrectly expanded to refer to all people of mixed race heritage and by the 1980’s the term was seen as highly derogatory and replaced by the more “correct” Khoi or /Xhoi (indicating a click sound). However by 2000 this had been challenged in its turn, with the etymology of “hottentot” being reappraised by descendants of the origial Khoi.. *? CHECK!
