    Thank you for explaining so vividly exactly where the tongue is placed for the clicks. This was incredibly helpful!
  • @EKSBahrain
    They have such an interesting language. Soooo unique... I finally am able to click while pronouncing "a" word 🤣🤣🤣. Molo Trevor!
  • The clicks being borrowed from the KHOEKHOE language, one of RSA First languages :-)

    Igqirha lendlela nguwonhqothwane. Baxalekile ooxam, ngamaxoki! What a proud and passionate language. Love my language
  • @alisonwilks302
    That was explained perfectly , well done and thank you xxxx
  • My 'q' flits between two, completely different cork-pop/door-knock sounds. I just don't know which one to use, but I guess between that, and bilabial clicks, and the kr/kl sound, I probably have most of the click-language sounds. Tone is another story, but I can track tonal languages decently.

    Very interesting. The first time I heard of this language was in the movie "The Gods must be crazy".
