Tenuis dental click
Consonantal sound
The voiceless or more precisely tenuis dental click is a click consonant found primarily among the languages of southern Africa. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ǀ⟩. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a tenuis dental click with a velar rear articulation is ⟨k͡ǀ⟩ or ⟨k͜ǀ⟩, commonly abbreviated to ⟨kǀ⟩, ⟨ᵏǀ⟩ or simply ⟨ǀ⟩; a symbol abandoned by the IPA but still preferred by some linguists is ⟨k͡ʇ⟩ or ⟨k͜ʇ⟩, abbreviated ⟨kʇ⟩, ⟨ᵏʇ⟩ or just ⟨ʇ⟩. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are ⟨q͡ǀ, q͜ǀ, qǀ, 𐞥ǀ⟩ and ⟨q͡ʇ, q͜ʇ, qʇ, 𐞥ʇ⟩. Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. ⟨ǀk⟩ or ⟨ǀᵏ⟩; this may be a simple orthographic choice, or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases.
