hmm...

I did Swahili for 2 years in high school. What do you want to know?

Why the hell would you waste your time learning Swahili? Sure lot's of people speak it, but they're all poverty-ridden violent idiots.

Some of us are africafags. Shocking, but true.

Swahili is too easy. I'd rather learn some Xhosa.

Xhosa would be pretty cool, if only for the clicks (not like I know anything else about it).

Clicks in Xhosa are actually a loan from neighboring yet unrelated Khoi-San languages. Xhosa has a rather simple set of clicks while Khoi-San are pure hell with multiple clicks occuring in every word including even basic numerals and such.

Just three or so, right? I didn't know the clicks came from another family of languages (although I knew there were other languages with many more clicks).

The basic amount is, yeah, 3, but you can combine them with certain "normal" sounds, thus raising it to 18. Khoisan languages normally have 40-50, and the basic amount of clicks is usually 5-6. There's also a sick language called Taa (ǃXóõ in native spelling) which has 83 clicks.
The point is, Xhosa and Zulu clicks still are a loan and don't normally occur in word roots, unlike Khoisan clicks that are a normal part of speech and frequently form word roots.
