Bushman click poems

This is Tandeka telling us how the bushman speaks with clicks. This was just part of her wonderful presentation at the bushman painting caves near White Mountain in the Drakensburg, South Africa. 09/01/12 - I've had various comments about whether this is Xhosa or bushman language. I'd just like to say I don't know - Tandeka told us its bushman - but if anyone has more to say about this I'd be very interested!

This isn't a bushman language, it's Xhosa!

Whoa! Thats cool!

[IronGodSlayer]

of you listen to black rappers rapping fast it almost sounds like that clicking sound.

xhosa is a beautiful language. it is like the sounds of the forest, the noise when you trip on wood, bir sounds etc. It is worth to be protected. I am european, german to be exact but I hope that one day, the terrible days of colonisation are ended and african people learn their languages again

on every discussion about blacks there is always some ignorant, racist, jealous, if you want to call them people, shits commenting.

I thought this was Xhosa.

[ShannonFAVsongPG]

that was cool, but I feel like I could never master the sounds correctly. i'm lost outside of indoeuropean languages. it would be so cool to learn though

So the click simply functions as a consonant .... fascinating.

[DoctorZushiDragon]

Forget Chinese... This is the hardest language to learn for foreigners!

Whou, it's very loud when she clicks ...
