Language is just a click away!


English speakers sometimes 'tut' to express their disapproval. A tut is a sound produced in the mouth without the aid of the lungs, where the tip of the tongue pulls back from the top of the teeth to produce a short click. It's a noise which does convey meaning, but is not considered part of the range of English sounds and is not used to form parts of words.

In many Southern African languages, however, sounds such as the tut are an inherent part of the language. The !Xu language, for example, uses almost 50 different clicks as consonants. Clicks can be produced in several different ways: by using the lips, teeth or the side of the tongue. Unlike sounds produced with air coming from the lungs, clicks rely on tongue movement against the velum, also known as the soft palate, which is the area at the back of the roof of the mouth, to control air flow.

To produce a click, raise the back of your tongue so that it rests against the velum. Then, use either the tip of your tongue, your lips or your teeth to close the front of your mouth. You'll have produced a cavity, a pocket of air, in your mouth. Next, move the main part of your tongue down and back a little. This will produce a partial vacuum in the cavity. If you then quickly lower the tip of your tongue, or open your lips or teeth, air will flow in from outside, making a click sound.
