A nomadic people living in the southern part of Namibia, in southwestern Africa. Like the San, they speak a language belonging to the Khoi-San language family, characterized by the frequent use of tongue clicks. The San and the Khoi-Koin are remarkably similar in three areas: physical characteristics, language, and culture. The San and the Khoi-Koin are usually distinguished by the fact that the former depend on gathering and hunting, while the latter depend on livestock farming. The San, who were once widespread in eastern, central, and southern Africa, retreated to southern Africa by around the 15th century under the pressure of the Bantu people who had been moving south. It is believed that some of the San assimilated with the Bantu people and adopted a social organization along with cattle herding, becoming the Khoi-Koin.

アフリカ南西部,ナミビアの南部に住む遊牧民族。サンと同じく,舌打音(クリック)の頻繁な使用を特徴とするコイサン語族に属する言語を使用する。サンとコイ・コインは身体特性,言語,文化の三つの要素において著しく類似しており,前者が採集・狩猟,後者が牧畜に生計を依存している点によって両者を区別するのが普通である。かつては東・中央・南アフリカに広く分布していたサンが,15世紀ころまでに,南下してきたバントゥー族に圧迫されて南部アフリカに後退する過程で,バントゥー族と融和し,牛の遊牧とともに社会組織をもとりいれた一部の者がコイ・コインになったのであろうといわれている。
