Sounds of Languages

We want to consider a few kinds of sounds.  First, Wikipedia has a decent International Phonetic Alphabet for reference.

We want to listen to some Xhosa Click sounds on the UCLA Phonetics Lab site.  After consideration of these sounds, we want to listen to Miriam Makeba’s song in Xhosa.

We are interested in Hmong tones.  And also in Polish consonant clusters.

Finally, we’re interested in the English vowels.
