[comments] jibphonology The click in Jiblar is usually /ǃ/, but it can have different pronunciations because there are no other clicks in the language to confuse it with. It can be pronounced as any other click or as /tʰ/ or /tkʰ/ (normal /t/ /k/ and /p/ are not aspirated). It should be heavily aspirated if pronounced as /tʰ/ or /tkʰ/.
The exact IPA pronunciation doesn't matter as much as the sound being loud and distinct. The click is always pronounced as a syllabic consonant. Vowels or other sounds can't be in the same syllable. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
