==Difficulty== Clicks are often presented as difficult sounds to articulate within words. However, children acquire them readily; a two-year-old, for example, may be able to pronounce a word with a lateral click {{IPA|[Η]}} with no problem, but still be unable to pronounce {{IPA|[s]}}.<ref>Kirk Miller, 'Highlights of Hadza fieldwork'. ''LSA'', San Francisco, 2009.</ref> [[Lucy Lloyd]] reported that after long contact with the Khoi and San, it was difficult for her to refrain from using clicks when speaking English.<ref>Beach (1938), p 269.</ref>
