Just a catch up on my part...

I noticed that the glottalized consonants that people talk about are
all oral stops. But there are other kinds of consonants that can be
glottalized. Danny brought forward an excellent example of a group
of languages that have glottalized consonants other than oral stops.
Salishan languages do indeed have plenty of those. Including nasals
and approximants. But these nasals and approximants are more better
described as creaky voiced where the creakiness is strong enough to
include a superimposed glottal stop.

Any conlangs with such sounds? Boreanesian comes close. Especially
the syllable final consonants with a stiff register tone or
phonation.
in syllable initial position, they appear randomly as allophones -
especially in word initial position.
