• Resumen

  • The regional identity of a click language of Namibia, Dama, is outlined. The phonology (including tone) and the orthography of Dama are described, with special attention to the click phonemes. The (underlying) syllable structure of the language (including the position of clicks in that structure) is discussed. Finally some theoretical implications of clicks in word and syllable structure are suggested.
