[MonsieurMercredi]

The San people are naturally lighter than most Sub Saharan Africans, without being mixed with White. 

[ThandiNC]

@MonsieurMercredi say that again, look at my vid!

[MonsieurMercredi]

@ThandiNC, I said the San appear to have a lighter skin complexion than some Africans, and the San are not mixed with European.

[yumihitomi]

[Voidiria]

[nachoguy5]

@Voidiria A school in washington. Apparently communicating with clicks and hisses is the new "thing"

[lizzy532]

[Arnatuile11]

Bdndjrhttkgkcowkeddnd

[foee]

im amazed by this language and i would love to learn it, but it looks really hard :(

[ByTheRoad483]

damn!!! he's so cute!!!

[halliezmandy]

Just to let ya'll know that clicking doesn't come from his tongue it comes from the back of his throat and thats why hes able to talk while clicking.

[benhd1]

@halliezmandy actually that is partially correct, some clicks are made with the tongue, i think the dental clicks are, xhosa is a very strange language

[halliezmandy]

He is so cute, Makes me wanna smile.

[flowiepanda]

when they write, do they write the clicks?

[Yamamanama]

They use c, q, and x for different types of clicks.

[playboyx85]

So in Xhosa a a name like Xavier would be "click-vier"

[Eldinarcus]

@playboyx85 If Xavier was a Xhosa name, yes. But Xavier isn't a Xhosa name so they would just call you Zave-ee-er.

[FailNationTruism]

Click-click Stew-AY! 'says the african kid from family guy'

[teletubbie666]

what a handsome man.

[EErinP87]

beautiful man and beautiful language.

[OrangeSodiePop]

OMG!!! He is sooooooooo FINE!!!...I need to visit South African. Click to Baby!

[simp1eone]

i will marry one oyall just to hear the clicks everyday. Like when we have a quarrel, just the clicks alone will make me forgive you.

[pashun88]

@simp1eone Ha ha lol I think my anger would go down in a heartbeat too. It hard not to smile.

[CrayzeeCrystal]

hes cuuute!

[odinisawesome]

He's quite the cunning linguist.

[ldec13wolf]

The letter ''X'' before a word is click and at marketbasket there was a guy name Xsala and i was like.....

[Leviwosc]

This is a pretty guy!

[dalmar90]

[noahhunt619]

[IGoTMiLK97]

[Axol]

@IGoTMiLK97 Wikipedia and Khoekhoe language ;)

[eikieljefe]

@IGoTMiLK97 i wonder the same

[leela194]

They should seriously teach this in schools

[superawsomeman3]

@HarperJackie you heard a click because that's part of the languages name. the X in Xhosa is a click.

[Naerbu]

lol press 5 and 4 alternatively. It goes, "tick tock tick tock"

[TokioHotelChick1989]

that takes Skill.

[emopufferfish]

He's beautiful.....................­....

comamimimim

[sherpanen]

Amazing story xD

[plyxo1990]

look at the old lady in the back at the start of the video, scary

[oxfordpictionary]

@plyxo1990 haha what? why is an old woman scary? haha she seems friendly

[plyxo1990]

@oxfordpictionary no put on pause and look

[HarperJackie]

I heard a "click" when he spoke English.

[CowboySteveSpurs]

@HarperJackie He pronounced the name in the language.

[HarperJackie]

@CowboySteveSpurs I realized that after I wrote that.

[Vapaus000]

@HarperJackie that was a name xD

[fnx0808]

@HarperJackie

I think the click is in a proper noun.

[conmancribb]

@HarperJackie It's because he said somebody's name and you pronounce the name the same way in any language. 

[eikieljefe]

@HarperJackie because it is a name of an african place or city who is pronounced with a clicking sound ;)

[ryankffx]

@HarperJackie it was a name so it would

[DeutschFreiheit]

@HarperJackie he was saying a name in Xhosan

[msayofemi1]

@HarperJackie because thats his name is ngqonia ndiqonda kancinci isixhosa . uyakwazi ukuthetha isixhosa?

[arabiandouble]

@HarperJackie that's because the click was apart of someone's name.

[WashICH1]

@HarperJackie cause he was saying a name.

[Clitorisaurus]

@HarperJackie He was using somebody's name.

[ImSuchaGamer]

@HarperJackie He was saying somones name wo had a click in there name

[SonofBrummieDarkness]

@HarperJackie He was saying someone's name which is pronounced the same in Xhosa as it is in English.

[LittleYellowBastards]

@HarperJackie Fuck you! And you'll never get this because I closed this account!

[sweetninicO9]

@LittleYellowBastards talking to yourself in public? take the pills buddy hahaha

[LittleYellowBastards]

@sweetninicO9 hahahahaha...I love running into my old accounts. I have about 10 of 'em!

[InertLoop]

@sweetninicO9 You do the same thing.

Puedes huir, pero no esconderte para siempre... UEJEJEJEJE!!!

[MrOmniblast]

@HarperJackie

Because he said someone's name, who has a click in their name.

[ChenJunHung]

@HarperJackie i guess that was a xhosa name

[dunte86]

@HarperJackie it was in someone's mane

[selfatrophy]

@HarperJackie

Someone's name in that language, dumb arse.

[HarperJackie]

@selfatrophy Listen, "dumb arse" *giggle*. Do you know how many people have told me that? ALOT! Shut the hell up. Why don't you tell the 70 people who gave it a thumbs up that, instead of me?

[bryacoustic]

@HarperJackie it was his friends name..

[HarperJackie]

@bryacoustic Really? Ya don't say...

[linkinparkfan42]

@HarperJackie xD

[JugglingForCake]

@HarperJackie the click you heard in English was in the person's name (he says i went to *click+name*'s house)

[JugglingForCake]

@HarperJackie huh my comment got errased... the click was in an African name, you should re-watch the video to hear.

i thought you'd appreciate my noticing it

[HarperJackie]

@JugglingForCake How many fuckin' people are gonna tell me this? Six months ago, and people STILL, tell me.

[suchet111]

@HarperJackie thought i might tell u also, the click was on an african name

[therealonethistime]

@HarperJackie Just so you know, he was saying a name which is the same as it is in English.

[HarperJackie]

@therealonethistime Just so YOU know, you're the 500th person to tell me that.

[therealonethistime]

@HarperJackie I know; I'm sorry. =[ I just thought it would be funny. D:

[HarperJackie]

@therealonethistime Just kill me now...

[therealonethistime]

@HarperJackie Why don't you just remove the comment if it's causing so much trouble? D:

[HarperJackie]

@therealonethistime Because, then you all win... >:O

[LancelotGraal]

@therealonethistime Well, I think it was really funny hahahahahahahahha

[thilweera]

[wizdom3663]

@HarperJackie lmao youre so right i thought i was the only one

[LancelotGraal]

[Style386]

[Nativechica]

My heart beats faster when I watch this video.

[sudanesgal]

hahah the guy is cute .did he made up that story right away?

white people think all african people speak this clicking language.just becuse most african laguages sounds the same doesnt mean that is the same thing .

[babycere]

i so love him'

[halfstepdown88]

Anyone else notice he accidentally clicked when speaking english?

Was kind of coool

[aggitann]

@halfstepdown88 Nah, no accident. Looks like he was pronouncing a name, a native word, and in his language the "Q"s are actually what get the click

watch?v=BF2nG48r-6s

[aggitann]

@halfstepdown88 See Simoneister's comment for a transcription and you can see where the click lands.

[chowitis]

@halfstepdown88 he didn't accidentally click, he said his friends name which has a click sound in it...and that doesn't change because he's speaking English

[oxfordpictionary]

@chowitis exactly, he wouldn't just accidentally click... the sound is an actual consonant that doesn't exist in any languages outside of the family which includes Xhosa, as far as I know. Either way, it doesn't occur outside of southern or eastern African languages, so it's not like he'd just chuck it in for good measure ...

[msayofemi1]

@chowitis actualy it could because xhosa is click the x is click and the english say kosah but its actualy isi(click)osa

[kissyhot1]

I thought he was good looking too but as with many/most guys that look that type of nice is gay.

Otherwise he could click on me all he wanted.

[Nativechica]

@kissyhot1 What in the world?

[revenantwings7]

I want to learn how to speak this language so much

[FreeSoul870]

This amazing! I wud like to learn, please help me! I love it!

[AnarchyBefallUs]

I'm glad, when looking up Xhosa, this is the first video I see. Very interesting to listen to.

[Nativechica]

:D I need to take a trip to Robben Island and request that he is my tour guide. hehe

[DrummerLSE]

Lol\/

[bulgogi123ify]

how would you whisper with the clicks?

[canuslupus2005]

@bulgogi123ify you make the clicks by using your tongue to make an area of low pressure in your mouth, and then releasing your tongue. to make the click quieter or louder, you would just make the difference in pressure between the closed-off area and the outside pressure be smaller or greater.

[laplaceua]

Do skunks live in Africa? I thought they're only in america.

[NZMaorihaka]

@laplaceua nah man I think it's just a story that doesn't really matter about the story it's just a tongue twister

[J4M3SPR]

@laplaceua you're an idiot

[ElevationLowJJ]

TOK TIK TOK POK. Sounded like facebook chat to me.

[lambrioza]

Cool story bro

[Affenpuff]

[xxuncexx]

[TheBlackLesbian]

[oliverleehornbake]

[dorotheaperkins]

[AkaoKiyotsu]

@dorotheaperkins Just wondering... how exactly? I mean no disrespect, I am glad languages are getting this kind of attention but I am just wondering how it was sexually attractive.

[dorotheaperkins]

@AkaoKiyotsu to tell u tha truth.i have no clue.it jus is lol

[Fenesiful]

@AkaoKiyotsu envious eh?

[dominicanfeva05]

Lol how wud you spell that lol

[cannoir]

@dominicanfeva05 Qondile is a female name.Though you'll also find a few males with that name.

[TheBlackLesbian]

you use the "!" for the click i believe

[NZMaorihaka]

@TheBlackLesbian no in Xhosa they use the normal Roman script like English and there are three different types of clicks (which I don't know): the most common click it showed by a 'c' in writing, the one that they use not all the time is represented by an 'x' and the least common one is a 'q'.

[SilverGunZoO]

cool

[bbonemn]

That sounds really pretty

[TiiaSweetNeSS31]

I hate it when people think that everyone who is african clicks, i think it is a cool lang. but please everyone, kno that there are sooo many different dialects its ridiculous
