The voiced (post)alveolar click is a click consonant found primarily among the languages of southern Africa. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a voiced alveolar click with a velar rear articulation is ⟨ ??? ⟩ or ⟨ ??? ⟩, commonly abbreviated to ⟨ ?? ⟩, ⟨ ?? ⟩ or ⟨ ?? ⟩; a symbol abandoned by the IPA but still preferred by some linguists is ⟨ ??? ⟩ or ⟨ ??? ⟩, abbreviated ⟨ ?? ⟩, ⟨ ?? ⟩ or ⟨ ?? ⟩. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are ⟨ ???, ???, ??, ??? ⟩ and ⟨ ???, ???, ??, ??? ⟩. Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. ⟨ ?? ⟩ or ⟨ ?? ⟩; this may be a simple orthographic choice, or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases. [2]

In languages which use the Bantu letters for clicks, this is most commonly written ⟨gq⟩ , but it is written ⟨dq⟩ in those languages that use ⟨g⟩ for the uvular fricative .
