'''Łaakehau'a''' /kǁaː.cə.hau̯.ʔa/ is a language used by the native inhabitants of [[Mpaikewuu’akehau’a]]. It is notable for it's inclusion of click consonants. The language is agglutinative and has a relatively simple phonology. No written form of Łaakehau’a currently exists, small samples of the language were written down by ASF explorers, but the samples are seldom accurate.

Syllables follow a C(V)V(V) format, with the exception of monosyllabic particles and onomatopoeia, which can be formed of solely one nasal or one click. The vowels i and u can form digraphs in which they are pronounced as semivowels. Long vowels are treated as a digraph of two of the same letter.

In vowel digraphs semivowels are assumed to be the initial vowel, final semivowels are marked with a grave accent (`) when ambiguous, for example: ''iu'' /i̯u/ but ''iù'' /iu̯/.
