    one of these guys needs to go to an arcade, get the top score on a game and just fuck up the scoreboard thing by putting their entire name.

      And this is the unique thing about Africa. These names sound like a joke but there are so many different name types. Some aren't even letters, they use sound effects like clicking, screeching and whatnot.

        A small clarification because that statement sounds a bit reductive and I'm very passionate about this stuff.
        Languages such as Zulu and Xhosa from South Africa do make frequent use of click-like sounds, represented by letters like q and x. They are regular consonants just like the sound made by the letters k or t in English. However, those two are among the very few languages with that trait. There are no languages that use screeches to form words. That's a Western exaggeration.

          Fair point on the clicks. I sort of used "screeching" loosely when I really meant sounds that fall outside the typical alphabet most people are familiar with. But my more broader point still stands. African languages, especially in the Khoisan family, use sounds that have no equivalent letters or symbols in most Western writing systems. That's genuinely remarkable and worth highlighting, even if my wording was wrong, sorry about that LOL. But saying it's purely a Western exaggeration sort of dismisses the real linguistic diversity I was pointing to in the first place.
