Nasal clicks are sounds like clicks, but instead of just air, they come out of your nose. There are different types of clicks, like ones made with the tongue touching the roof of the mouth, the teeth, the sides of the mouth, the top of the mouth, the back of the mouth, and the lips. Each of these can also have a nasal version, where the sound comes out of your nose. These nasal clicks can be said in different ways, like with your voice on or off, with a puff of air, with a soft breathy sound, and according to Miller (2011), with a special throat action.[1]
