Answer:If you can link that web page, the best answer
may be like that, no matter how many syllables or
'phonetic types' you have, a tone language speaker
always give at leat four times such numerous sound
units and with more sound units we can shorten all the
words, with shorten words it's more easy to compose
new words such as if we assign pi=pig; mi=meat then we
may take off the word 'pork' instead using pimi. We
can give demonstration that all the current one
million English words can be translated into just few
thousand such shorten words. that's to say, once we
handle these few thousand words, it'll be equal we
handle the one million words too.
