Question:
|
I remember hearing that while English vowels sometimes differ in length, it only sounds a little strange if you change the lengths of them. For example, we could say the ''u'' sound in proof as long as prove, and it would only sound odd. It wasn't surprising to hear then that some languages do distinguish length. I was, however, very surprised to hear that Estonian has three different distinctions. Are there languages with more? What is the limit?
