Editing Click consonant (section)

=== Position in word ===
{{See also|#Phonotactics}}
For the most part, the Southern African [[Khoisan languages]] only use [[root word|root]]-initial clicks.<ref group="note">Exceptions occurs in words borrowed from Bantu languages, which may have click in the middle.</ref> Hadza, Sandawe and several [[Bantu languages]] also allow [[syllable]]-initial clicks within roots. In no language does a click close a syllable or end a word, but since the languages of the world that happen to have clicks consist mostly of CV syllables and allow at most only a limited set of consonants (such as a nasal or a glottal stop) to close a syllable or end a word, ''most'' consonants share the distribution of clicks in these languages.
