The alveolar nasal click is a click consonant found primarily among the languages of southern Africa.{{Cite book |last=Knight |first=Rachael-Anne |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4cGMAgAAQBAJ |title=Phonetics: A Coursebook |date=2012-01-26 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-139-50419-5 |language=en}}

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a nasal alveolar click with a velar rear articulation is {{angbr IPA|ŋ͡ǃ}} or {{angbr IPA|ŋ͜ǃ}}, commonly abbreviated to {{angbr IPA|ŋǃ}}, {{angbr IPA|ᵑǃ}} or {{angbr IPA|ǃ̃}}; a symbol abandoned by the IPA but still preferred by some linguists is {{angbr IPA|ŋ͡ʗ}} or {{angbr IPA|ŋ͜ʗ}}, abbreviated {{angbr IPA|ŋʗ}}, {{angbr IPA|ᵑʗ}} or {{angbr IPA|ʗ̃}}. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are {{angbr IPA|ɴ͡ǃ, ɴ͜ǃ, ɴǃ, ᶰǃ}} and {{angbr IPA|ɴ͡ʗ, ɴ͜ʗ, ɴʗ, ᶰʗ}}.

Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. {{angbr IPA|ǃŋ}} or {{angbr IPA|ǃᵑ}}; this may be a simple orthographic choice, or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WD8aAQAAIAAJ |title=Afrika und Übersee |date=2005 |publisher=D.
