Re: THEORY: clicks

Hi all,

I was looking over my IPA chart and I was wondering two things:

1. Has anyone ever used clicks in their conlangs?
<<<

Some people did, including me, just for the fun of how
to pronounce them all in one sentence. I still like them, even
though I don't do a lot with Gbwia.
For a text in Gbwia see:

q, x, c and v are clicks ('v' is a bilabial click)

2. I only know of a few African languages that have clicks; are
there others outside of Africa?
<<<

Damin (Australia) is said to have had clicks and even a *pulmonic*
ingressive sound, written 'L'.
But Damin is weird in all aspects.
