Zulus
The Zulu language is also known as the click language. It was spoken by Mandela.
Zulus In Lonon
I met this lady at the London Wine Fair
The show had a stand for South African wines.
How To Click
This lovely lady demonstrated the click language with a torrent of sentences each of which had several loud clicks. I asked her how you make the clicks.
She said you move your tongue to the roof of your mouth. You can try it. See the range of sounds you can make.
If you bring your tongue down repeated from behind your teeth, you get a soft tut tut tut sound. However, if you keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth, you get a series of louder clicks.
