Although I don't want to seem rude having just gotten here, I have to disagree. I really do think that the whole Khanzumerz bit is a joke: it looks like another oddworldian creature at first, but upon pronouncing it out loud, one figures out the gag. It's just the kind of humor we've come to expect- thoughtful and anti-business. Besides, the word is only really mentioned once, in the back of a manual, and in a joking sense at that.
Of course, there IS a species called "Interns", so, who knows? Let me put it this way- I hope Khanzumerz aren't another species and that is their proper name, because that would really be a cop out on OWI's part. My guess is, if it is legitimate Oddworld terminology, it won't be the species name, but a status label, kind of like the social divisions we're starting to see with Glukkons in MO (Junior executive, Glok star, etc.)
