Does anyone have a similar list of languages with the
most vowels? I know about that site which describes
different vowel systems, and it ranks Swedish among
the highest with like 19 vowels (even though phonemically
it's just nine). Surely there must be languages with
more vowels than that? Or do you have to resort to long/
short/overlong, nasalized, pharyngealization, et al. to
beat that?
