[edit] N. Amer implosives
yes, only in Maidu, as far as I know. so i dont claim that they are "widespread". but, nevertheless, they do occur outside of Africa & SE Asia (which seem to receive all the attention). cheers — ishwar (SPEAK) 15:05, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
- They also occur in Pakistan, Siberia, the Amazon, etc., but I was just trying to give an idea of where they were particularly prevalent. (Interesting that they seem to be entirely absent from Australia, even from Damin!) We should obviously give more detail, but NA without the other places is a little misleading, I think. Let me see what I can come up with. kwami 18:14, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

- They're also found in a southern Siberian language, perhaps Ket. I can't confirm that, though, so I'm leaving it out. kwami 19:09, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
