Glottalized nasal clicks

The first sentence of this section is a bit confusing. Something like

"All languages that have glottalised clicks of any sort have nasal glottalised clicks, though some contrast these with non-nasalised glottalised clicks." or

"No language has non-nasalised glottalised clicks without also having nasalised glottalised clicks."

...might be easier to follow, unless I'm misinterpreting the existing verbiage. --Arvenine (talk) 19:41, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Velar involvement, yes no maybe? why is no literature clear about this

Something that drives me crazy as i can't find helpful literature on this, is the velum involved in glottalized clicks or not? anatomically it is simple to produce clicks that, exactly following the description in the article, just use the closure at the glottis as confinement for the cavity that creates the suction and no velar contact. even without any audible glottal release, which then sounds like plain e.g. ǂ (which begs the question if crosslinguistically the 'unmarked' plain click sounds need to have an audible velar release like the transcription ᵏǂ insinuates).

if so, then the notation ᶢǂˀ for one of them is even worse than by itself (never understood IPA's inclination to follow this school of linguists instead of those that just use suprasegmentalia instead of velar consonant letters). Hyperbaton (talk) 09:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
