The bilabial nasal click is a click consonant found in some of the languages of southern Africa.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a nasal bilabial click with a velar rear articulation is {{angbr IPA|ŋ͡ʘ}} or {{angbr IPA|ŋ͜ʘ}}, commonly abbreviated to {{angbr IPA|ŋʘ}}, {{angbr IPA|ᵑʘ}} or {{angbr IPA|ʘ̃}}. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are {{angbr IPA|ɴ͡ʘ, ɴ͜ʘ, ɴʘ, ᶰʘ}}.

Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. {{angbr IPA|ʘŋ}} or {{angbr IPA|ʘᵑ}}; 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.
