That already is a language in Africa

@Madison and Gumbo: Perhaps you are also referring to the Khoisan languages, which use a series of consonant sounds to communicate. There are many of these languages, and the Xhosa people also speak many different languages, a good amount of them use vowel sound as well. The quote, "That is already a language in Africa" emphasis on the "a". There are thousands of those languages, most of them extinct. The Xhosa languages are not only spoken in Africa, but also in Western Asia. The Xhosa languages are usually not written, and are more of "mouth sounds" than consonants, making it more challenging to write in.

I had no idea. The one exact one I am talking about, name unknown, it used in Botswana by the natives. They also speak the language of South Africa. but they do use this language a lot. I think is consisted of almost all click and other different noises made by their myth. And, do you how the would write down what they are trying to say I the spoke no other language?

They switched the thumbnail for episode 10. Compare the one I took when the show went up on Thursday with the one in the embed link of this thread! I guess they're trying to pull in some One Direction fans.

ONE DIRECTION HAS FANS?

There's some potential that One Direction has more appeal than a man with raw meat on his shoulders, anyway...

I don't really know all this stuff, but I'm a fairly efficient Googler . . .

There is also a clicking language spoken by the San people from the Kalahari Desert. As an example, see N!xau , the main character in the movie THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY (and its first sequel). His name is a usual transliteration of his original language, Ungwatsi, which uses clicking sounds that have no equivalent letter in the Roman alphabet.

According to one site discussing the language, "Actually believe it or not you can't learn [the Ungwatsi] language. The people of the Kalahari Desert have an evolutionary abnormality that allows them to make the pronunciations need (sic) for that language."

Scene Two from the movie is below, and if you click the link next to the video cover shot you can watch the entire first movie for free on YouTube.

Kalahari bushman Xi (played by genuine bushman N!xau) is as surprised as the rest of his tibe when a Coke bottle, thrown from a passing plane, lands in the middle of their village. This "gift from the gods" proves to be a mixed blessing when the tribesmen fight over it and eventually use it for a weapon. To keep peace in the village, Xi is assigned to take the bottle to "the end of the earth" (actually a lush valley) and throw it back to the gods.

Yeah that is the movie I referred to earlier. I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember loving it and the main odae, along with what mainly happened.

Forest Patrol is back!! My wish was granted.

Also, Hannah looks incredibly small between Rhett and Link. Then again, most people do. I would maybe come up to Rhett's waist, for example.
