Bantu language with click consonants (5)

I believe the answer is:

xhosa

(Other definitions for xhosa that I've seen before include "Clicking tongue" , "Tribesman" , "Cattle-rearer in South Africa" , "South African tribe" , "Member of a Bantu-speaking tribe" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the USA Today.
