There are two attested dialects: ǀ’Auni (ǀ’Auo), recorded by Dorothea Bleek, and ǀHaasi, recorded by Robert Story. ǀ’Auni is the word the former use for themselves; ǀ’Auo (or ǀ’Au) is what they call their language. ǀauni, ǁauni, Auni are misspellings. Other renderings of the name ǀHaasi are K’uǀha:si, Kiǀhasi, and Kiǀhazi.
