Editing Bilabial click (section)

== Bilabial click consonants and their transcription ==
In official IPA transcription, the click letter is combined with a {{angbr IPA|k ɡ ŋ q ɢ ɴ}} via a tie bar, though {{angbr IPA|k}} is frequently omitted. Many authors instead use a superscript {{angbr IPA|k ɡ ŋ q ɢ ɴ}} without the tie bar, again often neglecting the {{angbr IPA|k}}. Either letter, whether baseline or superscript, is usually placed before the click letter, but may come after when the release of the velar or uvular occlusion is audible. A third convention is the click letter with diacritics for voicelessness, voicing and nasalization; this does not distinguish velar from uvular labial clicks. Common labial clicks in these three transcriptions are:

The last is what is heard in the sound sample at right, as non-native speakers tend to glottalize clicks to avoid nasalizing them.
 
Damin also had an egressive bilabial {{IPA|[ʘ↑]}}, which may be an egressive click (if it is not [[buccal airstream|buccal]]) and which is always followed by another consonant ({{IPA|[ɲ]}}, {{IPA|[ŋ]}} or {{IPA|[pj]}}).<ref>Hale, Ken and Nash, David.
