Clicks:nʘ, n/, n!, nǂ Lardil also possessed a special speech style, used by initiated men, which added 4 nasalized clicks (nʘ, n/, n!, nǂ ), two ejectives (pʔ, k?), and an ingressive lateral fricative (ɬ) to the standard consonant repertoire. The vowel /e/ was not used in this style. Apparently this special speech style has recently fallen into disuse.
