The dental clicks are a family of click consonants found, as constituents of words, only in Africa and in the Damin ritual jargon of Australia. The tut-tut! (British spelling) or tsk! tsk! (American spelling) sound used to express disapproval or pity is a dental click, although it isn't a speech sound in that context.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the place of articulation of these sounds is ǀ, a pipe. This may be combined with a symbol for the manner of articulation, though this is commonly omitted for tenuis clicks. Common dental clicks are:
[ǀ] tenuis dental click
[ǀʰ] aspirated dental click
[ᶢǀ] voiced dental click
[ᵑǀ] nasal dental click
[ᵑ̊ǀʰ] aspirated nasal dental click
[ǀˀ] or [ᵑ̊ǀˀ] glottalized dental click
The last is what is heard in the sound sample at right, as non-native speakers tend to glottalize clicks to avoid nasalizing them.
Prior to 1989, [ʇ] was the IPA representation of the tenuis dental click. It is still occasionally used where the symbol [ǀ] would be confounded with other symbols, such as prosody marks.
