Some Nikta and Neyasai languages have clicks. Of course, I only know a very
tiny bit about one Nikta language, and hardly anything at all about Neyasai
languages. I ought to pay more attention to them. The Neyasai also have
"double clicks", which release with enough force to make a second "pop"
when the tip of the tongue hits the bottom of the mouth.
