I also picked up a certain click sound from a friend years ago, different from the ones in the video. I believe it is a loud type of palatal click made by creating a lot of suction between the tongue and the palate.

lol, random mouth noise experiments.

You know what to do, Brian.

Go get a microphone for further inspection

Mega crappy quality, but the first three are attempting the "q" from the video, and the last three are the palatal thing I was just talking about.

i don't have a mic handy.

say this lira and upload please.

You got close enough. I guess this is your sound, Brian:

I kind of messed up the tones, but you can have an idea of how a native would pronounce that
