=== Click consonants === Khoe click inventories generally combine four anterior constrictions types with nine to eleven anterior constrictions. The exact size of the click inventory in Khwe is unclear. Köhler established an inventory of 36 click phonemes, from combinations of four influxes /ǀ ǂ ǃ ǁ/, and nine effluxes (only five on the alveolar), as well as a borrowed [[voiced alveolar click]], /ǃᶢ/. Khwe is the only language to have a pre-nasalized voiced click.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite book|title = Khwe dictionary with a supplement on Khwe place names of West Caprivi|last = Kilian-Hatz|first = Christa|publisher = Rüdiger Köppe Verlag|year = 2003|isbn = 3-89645-083-2|location = Cologne|url-access = registration|url = https://archive.org/details/khwedictionary00chri}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |+Khwe clicks ! ![[Dental click|Dental]] ![[Alveolar click|Alveolar]] ![[Palatal click|Palatal]] ![[Lateral click|Lateral]] |- ![[Voicelessness|Voiceless]] |{{IPA link|ǀᵏ}} |{{IPA link|ǃᵏ}} |{{IPA link|ǂᵏ}} |{{IPA link|ǁᵏ}} |- ![[Glottalized click|Glottalized]] |{{IPA link|ǀˀ}} |{{IPA link|ǃˀ}} |{{IPA link|ǂˀ}} |{{IPA link|ǁˀ}} |- ![[Voice (phonetics)|Voiced]] |{{IPA link|ǀᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ǃᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ǂᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ǁᶢ}} |- ![[Aspirated consonant|Aspirated]] |{{IPA link|ǀᵏʰ}} |{{IPA link|ǃᵏʰ}} |{{IPA link|ǂᵏʰ}} |{{IPA link|ǁᵏʰ}} |- ![[Nasal click|Nasal]] |{{IPA link|ᵑǀ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǃ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǂ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǁ}} |- ![[Nasal click|Voiced nasal]] |{{IPA link|ᵑǀᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǃᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǂᶢ}} |{{IPA link|ᵑǁᶢ}} |- ![[Pulmonic-contour click|Uvular stop]] |{{IPA|ǀq}} |{{IPA|ǃq}} |{{IPA|ǂq}} |{{IPA|ǁq}} |- ![[Pulmonic-contour click|Fricative]] |{{IPA link|ǀᵏˣ}} |{{IPA link|ǃᵏˣ}} |{{IPA link|ǂᵏˣ}} |{{IPA link|ǁᵏˣ}} |- ![[Pulmonic-contour click|Affricate ejective]] |{{IPA link|ǀᵏˣʼ}} |{{IPA link|ǃᵏˣʼ}} |{{IPA link|ǂᵏˣʼ}} |{{IPA link|ǁᵏˣʼ}} |}
