音节越繁杂繁多的语言,语速越慢,句子越短。反之亦然（The more complicated the syllables are, the more slowly the language is spoken and the shorter the sentences. Vice versa） Time magazine reported an interesting study in the language magazine. Why do some languages seem to speak as fast as other languages? The answer is that the speed of speech depends on the average amount of information carried by a single syllable. A simple story, whether translated into English, French, German, Japanese, or Chinese, requires almost the same amount of time to read it out. But at the same time, the number of syllables to speak is different; those who need more syllables to express the same content speak faster. Thats interesting. At first, I was wondering why it happened. Relatively simple speech systems (less consonants and vowels, no intonation, nasal vowels, and other skills) tend to be longer words. This is because, if a language has only eight consonants, five vowels, such as the Hawaii language, so there will be lots of homophones. In order to distinguish between words, the words have to grow longer; the famous state fish in Hawaii is humuhumunukunukuapuaa (Mermaid), thats why it is here. But, as people say, everyone has the same 24 hours a day, so its not surprising that a slower syllable is faster. I do not have the statistics of the total amount of phonemes they have, but it does not seem surprising that the system is simpler and that Japanese is the fastest and Spanish is second. The most slowly spoken Mandarin Chinese has about 2000 syllables, much more than Japanese and spanish. Four tones are also part of the slow speech rate in mandarin. Last time, I pushed open the front door and let the cat in. It was a beautiful night, and I went into the garden to breathe the fresh air. The door closed behind him when he heard the door. Well, after that the atmosphere was stagnant, the storyteller stay has not stopped at the door to open the door. Of course, were not talking about the Nobel prize here. Th
