"Damin was a secret language spoken only by initiated men on three islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, south of New Guinea. It has many remarkable qualities; for example, it is the only non-African language to use clicks as part of its regular phonemic inventory. It seems pretty clear that Damin was an invented language, and a cleverly built one, but unfortunately it has become extinct. This is a compilation of the information I’ve been able to find about Damin."
