Phonetics!

[philena]

But this is of general interest also, I promise. See, I was avoiding studying for my midterm tomorrow by browsing Peter Ladefoged's page here, which was put up in order to play sound clips of various different phonemes. Some of them are pretty crazy, in particular the clicks. But what I find the best about this page is right here, wherein we can hear various different clicks from Nama. Go look at the gloss for the voiceless nasal palatal click. I guess Peter Ladefoged must be British.

I now go remove laundry.

Ah yes, I remember clicking "here" and seeing a page of scary linguisticksy things and running away....
