In Click Languages, an Echo of the Tongues of the AncientsIf so, the modern humans who left Africa some 40,000 years ago and populated the rest of the world might have been click speakers who later lost their clicks. Australia, where the Damin click language used to be spoken, is one of the first places outside Africa known to have been reached by modern humans. But the antiquity of clicks, if they are indeed extremely ancient, raises a serious puzzle. Joseph Greenberg of Stanford University, the great classifier of the world's languages, put all the click languages in a group he called Khoisan. But Sandawe and Hadzane, the language of the Hadzabe, are what linguists call isolates. They are unlike each other and every other known language. Apart from their clicks, they have very little in common even with the other Khoisan languages.

please, this is so tiring, all this afro-centric crap....itz as bad as mr checov on star trek, who used to claim anything that was of any value, was done by russia first....
Here is a continent whose contribution to civilization other than famine, war, starvation and serving as a black hole for tax dollars is zilch. So liberals invent redeeming qualities like ‘humans in originated in Africa.. language originated Africa..’etc to cover up their guilt. What are they going to credit them with next ?

This is an interesting technique - to consider the frequency of word forms in spoken language.
Considering rap music, for example,
If you discount that famous 12 letter word m*****-f***** and variations on the word f***, most rap songs would last only about 5 seconds!
And all the road signs were in foreign languages anyhow.
"What you talkin 'bout, Willis?"WRONG!
Genesis 11:9
King James Version (KJV)
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth
ALL languages originated in what is now Iraq.
