Vaal-Orange · 29.6°S 26.1°E

Vaal–Orange is an extinct ǃKwi language of South Africa and Lesotho. It comprised the ǁKuǁʼe dialect (also rendered ǁKu-ǁʼe, ǁŨǁʼe or ǁKuǁe), spoken near Theunissen and Bethany in South Africa and into Lesotho, recorded by Dorothea Bleek, the Seroa dialect, and the Boshof dialect.

The name "Vaal–Orange" comes from the Vaal and Orange Rivers, which converge where the ǂUngkue language was spoken, though ǂUngkue is no longer classified as Vaal–Orange.
