kutsuwamushi: from a Married to the Sea Comic (edumacation)
I can't make my mouth do this yet.

The above page has a few audio files of words in Montana Salish, showcasing the ejective consonants. (They're the ones followed by an apostrophe.) And it also has to this page on the UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive, which has more recordings than you could ever want--unless you're a phonetician.

The Salishan languages in general have really cool phonetics. Nuxálk, the language that has the famous word xłp̓x̣łtłpłłskʷc̓, is also a Salishan language. This page has a poor-quality recording of some vowel-less Nuxálk words.

What I really want, though, is good-quality audio of running speech, and I'm having a hard time finding any. I found this short story in Klallam, but it doesn't have ejectives as far as I can tell.
