30. No common pattern emerging among languages.
Some languages have 11 distinct sounds with which to
make words, while others have 144. Sign languages
have none. As sounds that were once thought
impossible are discovered, the idea that there is a fixed
set of speech sounds is being abandoned
Even plurals are not straightforward. The Kiowa people of North America use a plural
marker that means "of unexpected number". Attached to "leg", the marker means "one
or more than two". Attached to "stone", it means "just two".
Some languages use a single word where others need an entire sentence. In English, for
example, you might say "I cooked the wrong meat for them again". In the Indigenous
Australian language you would say "abanyawoihwarrgahmarneganjginjeng". The more
we know about language processing, the less likely it seems that these two structures
are processed in the same way.
Some major word classes are not found in all languages. English, for example, lacks
"ideophones" where diverse feelings about an event and its participants are jammed into
one word - as in "rawa-dawa" from the Mundari language of the Indian subcontinent
meaning "the sensation of suddenly realising you can do something reprehensible, and
no one is there to witness it".
