How many vowels?
--To read this post in Japanese, click here.
I started to learn Arabic and found out that
Arabic has only three vowels.
Same goes with Inuit (spoken in Arctic regions),
and the Ryukyuan language (spoken in Japan).
(There is a dispute whether the Ryukyuan is
an independent language or a dialect of Japanese.)
Ubykh, which is an extinct language spoken near the Black Sea,
had only two vowels.
English: vowel
French: voyelle
Italian: vocale
Spanish: vocal
German: Vokal
Japanese: 母音 [boin]
Korean: 모음 [moum]
Chinese: 元音 [yuanin]
Dutch: klinker
Arabic: [harafalyin] حرف لين
