| | Click consonant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Clicks appear more stop-like or more affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an apical alveolar or laminal postalveolar closure are acoustically sharp like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral clicks have an acoustically noisier sound, and sound more like affricates. |
 | | Clicks occur in all the Khoisan languages of southern Africa, and in several of the neighbouring Bantu languages, such as Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, Ndebele), Yeyi, and Sesotho, which borrowed them from Khoisan languages. |
 | | Clicks also occur in Sandawe and Hadza, two languages of Tanzania traditionally classified as Khoisan, as well as in Dahalo, an endangered South Cushitic language of Kenya. |
