Different languages ​​have different numbers of phonemes and these languages ​​differ because of the number of phonemes these languages ​​have in their language systems.

Languages ​​use only a small subset possible sounds that human speech organs can produce. Then we have Allophony, which is a predictable phonetic variation of a phoneme that will generally make the number of distinct phonemes less than the number of identifiably distinct sounds. Both the Norwegian language, which has up to 42 phonemes, and English, which has about 36, must have more sounds, while some Brazilian rainforest languages, which only have 10 phonemes, must have more distinct sounds, but no more than English or any African language.

What is the selection of particular words to convey tone and voice called? word choice word editing word revising word style.
dusya [7]

The intentional selection and arrangement of a set of words in such a way that it communicates a predetermined tonality and voice is called <u>Word Style. (D)</u>

Word style speaks to how a story or information is conveyed. When words are selected and arranged in a particular way, they can affect the impression that the reader gets.

Skilled writers use this to achieve the full expression of their imagination and to tell the story exactly as they have experienced it or as they intend for the reader to perceive it.

Word Style is also useful for tailoring the same message to suit different audiences. One key principle is consistency. Altering Word Styles within the same document can be very distracting and reduce the veracity of the writ.

Why was Columbus's exploration important to the understanding of monsters?
Zinaida [17]

His exploration was vital to the myth about monsters because he dismissed it as nothing more than stories that were exaggerated.  The story about monsters breathing fire was probably natives who were smoking tobacco.  He did promise to bring back riches but this part was exaggerated.
