The Khoisan people of Southern Africa are known for their incredible “click” languages—considered some of the oldest spoken tongues in the world. These languages use a series of distinct clicking sounds made with the tongue, creating a rhythm unlike any other on Earth. More than just communication, it’s a living link to humanity’s earliest voices, connecting today’s Khoisan to one of the deepest roots of human history.

The latest linguistic work points to clicks as having deep roots, originating at the limits of linguistic analysis sometime earlier than 10,000 years ago, and genetic data suggest that click-speaking populations go back to a common ancestor perhaps 50,000 or more years ago. | New Africa | Facebook
