Do other languages have the same Consonants & Vowels as the English language?

Answer 1

most have at least some variations.

some, like Cambodian, have many more vowels and fewer consonants.

Answer 2

I don't think any has all and only the exact same ones. Many don't have our diphthongs (often called "long vowels" but linguists call a different type of vowels long), I don't think many have our two "th"s. Several have a high front vowel we don't have. Also, some languages may have the same sounds but not distinguish them though we do (ex. l & r) or distinguish them though we don't (the p sound in pat vs. in spat).

Almost all languages have "a" as in "cat" and I think "t".

Edit: I'm talking about vowel and consonant SOUNDS, not letters. Maybe you meant letters, then what others wrote makes more sense.

Answer 3

Gaelic has 18 letters in the alphabet - 13 consonants and 5 vowels.

Answer 4

I come from South Sudan and Acholi is my mother tongue. A greater debate among my people whether to Write the name of my tribe and the language as Acoli or Acholi. This comes from the rules of how to pronounce C as soft or hard. I do believe that if I use Acoli then a foreigner would pronounce that as Akooli. But when I put CH (digraph) the K sound would disappear, which is correct actually.

My Question is does Soft and Hard C applied to only English or other languages as well???

Answer 5

The Greek based tongues have a different alphabet from those whose core is Latin. The Gallic tongues have less consonants and more dipthongs. The Asian languages were based around Sanskrit.The Japanese and Chinese languages have characters unique to their culture.

Answer 6

A lot of languages do not have any consonants or vowels. Thst is, there are no vowels. They are all consonants or they do not distinguish between vowels and consonants.

Answer 7

All the ones based on Latin.

Some just have more letters that are actually useful, like in Spanish there's ñ, which makes the canyon sound. it's easier to know how to pronounce with only one letter.

Because there's too many weird rules in English, and in other Latin based languages it's faster and easier to learn because there's no weird rules.

Answer 8

i've got considered some right here on Yahoo! in those questions managing Gaelic languages (Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic). in case you seem for those you're able to be able to locate some. additionally in questions suitable to the Welsh language or maybe on the Welsh human beings or on Wales the place often they answer one yet another in that tongue even on non-language suitable questions.

Answer 9

Only the ones that use the same alphabet!

PRONUNCIATION is a different story!
e.g.; "J" in English, Spanish and German.
.

Answer 10

Nope. Only those which use the same letters of alphabet.
