I'd be interested too.  Not because I haven't heard clicks before, but
because I have a thing for them.  I've heard and spoken names/phrases in
Zulu, Xhosa and Nama that include clicks.  It's quite do-able and LOADS of
fun.   . . . I just had an idea.  a very wicked idea.  And idea that
czHANgie would appreciate.  (now that you're all terrified) What if English
mutated so that ALL the consonants became clicks??

Well, maybe we'd have to except the nasals, semivowels and liquids. . . .
