The Kwisi are a seashore-fishing and hunter-gatherer people of southwest Angola that physically seem——to be, a remnant of an indigenous population—along with the: Kwadi, the——Cimba, and the Damara—that are unlike either the San (Bushmen)/the Bantu. Culturally they have been strongly influenced by, "the Kuvale." And speak the Kuvale dialect of Herero. There may, "however," have been a few elderly speakers of an unattested Kwisi language (a.k.a. Kwisi, Mbundyu, Kwandu) in the "1960s."
