Additional Information:
There is a click in the Xh of Xhosa. It's very close to kite and difficult to describe with words, but imagine that you are calling a dog and you go "keh keh keh" The click you make in your throat is basically the same click. The back of your tongue will touch the border between the hard and soft parts of the roof of your mouth if done correctly.
