I very much doubt it...
I don´t think so.
Basque used to be very unique but they have borrowed words from Spanish and other languages, too.
None that I know of.
Andaman Island people's languange
It's unlikely. Even small tribal languages borrow from each other. It's possible that some isolated tribes have remained so isolated to the point of not borrowing any vocabulary, but even sporadic contact can be enough for borrowing to occur.
Sentinelese, the language spoken by the extremely isolated people of Sentinel Island, may contain no borrowing, but since we don't know anything about the language (having not contacted the people), we don't even know if that's true.
Of course.
Some Africans still communicate with "click" languages. No borrowed words there. Very efficient and (according to one of my kids that occasionally spends time over there) surprisingly easy to learn.
I don't know. My first guesses would be Tamil and/or Greek.
That's interesting. Is it click sounds made with the mouth?

Click languages
They may not borrow from Western languages, but they may borrow from other click languages or other non-click languages spoken in the area.
Yes--clicks have a number of places of articulation similar to pulmonic (non-click) consonants. The difference is they don't involve the expulsion of air, but involve sort of a sucking action of the tongue against another part of the mouth. The English sound "tsk, tsk" is an example of a click.
Because they are so old. It's a guess. I said I don't know.
Hello Randy:
Schtuup is borrowed from the English word stick.. Look it up.

Do you know for certain that the various "clicking" languages share words or are you merely speculating?
Another possibility that comes to mind would be some of those tribes in the western Amazon rain forest that have yet to be contacted by outsiders. They may well have their own languages that have no influence from others.
I didn't know, Randy. Those are the click languages. They are the oldest things alive. So are the African genes. That is what you are missing. I couldn't send you a video because it is disabled. Love Towel. I shall find you another. You know Nevan knows all of this I am sure. But I will check because I wind up always knowing more than everyone.
I'm sure the Australian copycats stole some of their clicks from the Africans . You cannot trust those who have ESP. (I know you have no idea what I am talking about, but I will explain if you care. Hell, I'll tell you now. In Africa and Austrailia, too, I am certain they could communicate across the many miles telepathically There. That wasn't too hard.
Listen to this video. It will transport you to another world. The world of the Towel.
