Ever heard of click consonants? If you saw the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, then you might have heard the little African man speaking in his native tongue, to which nobody else really understands what he was talking about. So apparently this is the real deal, as I'd found out. Interestingly enough, there seems to be more than just the simple click as I discovered that there are numerous other forms of clicks that can be voiced out.
Rummaging through wikipedia, I stumbled upon this. There aren't a lot of information online regarding this but it still seems quite amazing.
I started on this thanks to Russell Peters. Here's an excerpt from his stand-up a while back with the !xobile portion.
