I've heard many times that the native people of South Africa, known as Khoisans or Ottentots didn't have a language and still don't have an actual one, they used clicks rather than actual human sounds, so it was basically just a really simple language, a series of clicks, "Clingon", I think that's the name of their language.
What do you guys think about this?

Yes OP
Yes
The khoisan don't have a language
Just a series of sounds which represent ideas & things and a strict pattern of rules to give more precise ideas from person to person
Yes
Not language
Just a means of verbal communication between humans
Silly

They just have a couple clicks as consonants

Some of South African black languages have clicks as well.

No. Actually Khoisan languages are insanely complex.

I can speak on behalf of everyone on the planet, OP: you're a moron.
The fact that you don't regard sounds made by a human as "human sounds" because they don't exist in your language is about as retarded as it gets. Every sound made by a human is a human sound.
You are correct about one thing: they speak Clingon. You're a genius.
