ǂUngkue is an extinct ǃKwi language or dialect of the Vaal River region of South Africa, with records of it being spoken in Warrenton.
It was recorded by Carl Meinhof, and was closely related to the neighboring ǁKā language (or dialect) recorded by Dorothea Bleek; they in turn are related to Nǁng, which has a single remaining speaker as of 2023.
Like ǀXam, ǂUngkue used 'inclusory' pronouns for compound subjects: ǃhoetilionnanandkorojackalnanandtuēostrichntheya?PAST‖ʼagoǃhoeti nan koro nan tuē n a ‖ʼalion and jackal and ostrich they ?PAST go'The lion and jackal and ostrich, they went'.
