	POSTALVEOLAR CLICK FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The forward place_of_articulation is alveolar or postalveolar, depending on the language, and apical, which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar_ridge or the roof of the mouth behind the alveolar ridge.
		In the Nguni languages, the tenuis click is denoted by the letter ''q'', the murmured click by ''gq'', the aspirated click by ''qh'', and the nasal click by ''nq''.
		The alveolar clicks are strongly articulated in the Nguni languages, with a sharp jerk downward of the lower jaw.

	Click consonant
		Clicks are inherently stop-like or affricate-like depending on their place of articulation: clicks involving an alveolar or palatal closure are acoustically like plain stops, while bilabial, dental and lateral ones sound more like affricates.
		Clicks are in all the Khoisan languages of southern Africa and in the neighbouring Nguni languages (Zulu, Xhosa, etc.) of the Bantu family, which borrowed them from Khoisan (there are some 80 languages in both groups).
		The five clicks specified in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) are the bilabial click ʘ, the dental click ǀ, the alveolar lateral click ǁ, the palatal click ǂ, and the postalveolar click ǃ.

	Encyclopedia: Postalveolar click
		The postalveolar click is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its manner of articulation is click, which means it is produced with two articulatory closures in the oral cavity.
		Its place of articulation is postalveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge and the palate, but closer to the alveolar ridge than for alveolo-palatal consonants.

	Postalveolar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postalveolar consonants are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge, placing them a bit further back in the mouth than the alveolar consonants, which are at the ridge itself, but not as far back as the hard palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
		The alveolo-palatal and retroflex consonants are also postalveolar in their point of articulation, but they are given separate columns in the IPA chart, and illustrated with examples in their own articles.
		There is an additional postalveolar articulation found in Circassian languages such as Ubyx: the tip of the tongue rests against the lower teeth so that there is no sublingual cavity.

		In Hadza, there are three postalveolar clicks: Tenuis, nasalized, and voiceless nasalized with simultaneous glottal closure,.
		In the latter click, the gottal stop begins during the occlusion of the click, and is released after the click release, resulting in a delay before the start of the following vowel.

		One variable in tongue shape is whether the contact occurs with the very tip of the tongue (an "apical" articulation with the surface just above the tip, called the blade of the tongue (a "laminal" articulation or with the underside of the tip (a "sub-apical" articulation).

		Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
		The affricate consonants are a combination of plosive and fricative consonants articulated almost simultaneous.

		This language and its relatives employ a series of consonants called clicks that are only rarely found outside of this area of Africa.
		In English, clicks are found only in a few interjections, such as tsk-tsk, which is technically a repeated alveolar click in which the front end of the tongue is pressed up against the alveolar ridge behind the teeth.
		The exclamation point in !Kung symbolizes a similar click, but with the front part of the blade of the tongue pressed against the palate close to the alveolar ridge.

		It never happens in the Southern African languages that have clicks, any way (though Julian Bradfield points out that the earlier version of this post was too strong: producing two clicks in quick succession is phonetically possible); cq couldn't ever be the beginning of a well-formed Zulu or Xhosa word.

		An alveolar or postalveolar click, often called retroflex, is [!A] (old [], Zulu q; 'hollow' sound).
		A so-called palatoalveolar click is [’A]; it has alveolar contact and an abrupt release ('flat' sound, dental/alveolar, no affrication).
		Another use for the tie bar might be to show nasalized clicks, where the click articulation occurs simultaneously with a voiced velar nasal that uses a pulmonic air-stream, thus a nasalized postalveolar (retroflex) click [N_!A].
