Is it Xhosa? It’s obviously an african click language.

I was guessing it might be Xhosa. Xhosa is spoken in South Africa, and also in Botswana and Lesotho.

There are other Bantu click languages, too (Zulu, for one), but I’ll follow the consensus.

It is Xhosa, which is spoken mainly in South Africa, and also in Botswana and Lesotho.
The recording comes from YouTube - the video includes an English translation.

What a coincidence. I happened to be YouTubing yesterday and I found the same video!

I knew it was Xhosa right away too. I have a few friends who are Xhosa speakers, in fact I was speaking to one of them last night. Those clicks are amazing!
