A mathematics music theory question any opinions?

Question

take the 7 tones of western music DO RE ME FA SO LA TI DO
C D E F G A B C#
each is a measurement of Freq. and between these tones there are five sharps and four flats. C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
Now take the five vowel sounds of The Romance languages and English. A E I O U. These five tones or freqs can also be divided into sharps and flats that lie between A E I O U or A A# E E# I I# O O# U U# in the very same manner as DO Re ME or the notes in a musical scale. Using a Pythagorean circle one can manipulate end less vowel relations and combos just like with the notes of scales. This starts to sound like a for want of a better phrase speaking in toungues or really strange sounding human tone grammer combonations or harminizations. this same method also stretches the pitch interval of entire alphabets by adding sharps and flats between the tones and completly changes the entire pitch relation of languages

Answer 1

A very good observation. Thanx for the information & keep it up.

Answer 2

Interesting, so what is your question?
There is an interval of approx 2^(1/12) between the 12 tones of the western scale (including the sharps and flats), but a musical instrument made precicely to this interval sounds a bit "off". This is why some of the tones are a little less than 2^(1/2) apart, and some a little more. However, tones exactly an octive apart are exactyl double in frequency.
There are five letters used as vowels in the English alphabet (not counting y, which does not have a vowel sound on its own, but sounds like i or e), but approx 25 vowel sounds in English. Could this be the sharps and flats you're talking about?
English and most other European languages is only slightly tonal, with various inflections of the tone indicating whether the sentence is a question, statement, exclamation, or command. However, other languages, most famously Mandarin Chineese, is completely tonal, where the same syllable, spoken on different tones, has entirely differnt meanings. For example, the word for "four" is the same as the word for "death", only spoken on a different tone, this is why four is considered an unlucky number in China and in the Chineese art of Feng Shui.
A recent study found that native speakers of Mandarin Chineese engage the same parts of the brain that most people engage for listening to music, when they listen to and speak their language. This may be why more Chineese people have perfect pitch than people of other nationalities.

Answer 3

Sorry, I don't really see what your question is.

Note that there are of course many more than 5 vowel sounds, it's just that we restrict ourselves to 5 letters with which to write them. To some extent it's a matter of judgement as to when one sound ends and another begins, but from memory the figures I've seen are around the 20-30 region.

You could pick your twelve favourite sounds and arrange then in correspondence with the twelve notes of the Western scale, but I'm not sure what you think you would achieve by this, except to generate rather odd interpretations of existing pieces of music or text.

Your last sentence doesn't make much sense at all as far as I can see. Playing this sort of game isn't going to affect existing languages in the slightest, it's just a weird method of composition (for either music or text) that will produce something that is almost certain to sound completely meaningless.

Answer 4

You have a lot of time on your hands don't you.
