I think "c" is dental and "q" is alveolar in Zulu (and Xhosa). Palatal
clicks aren't very common.
I've used "!" as a diacritic to represent clicks; p! for a bilabial click,
t! for an alveolar click, and so on. If your language has more than the few
clicks that have common symbols (bilabial, dental, alveolar, palatal, and
lateral), you might want to consider something like that.
