Another Short History of Linguistics (6)

Now let’s talking about the dimension of sound. Every day, you uttered every sound is either, the mixer of vowel and tone, or a mixer of consonant, vowel and tone. Only these two types of sound human can utter. The only different is some language only regard consonant of these two kinds of sound as information carriers, some language only regard consonant and vowel as information carriers, another language is called as tone-language, they regard all the consonant, vowel and tone are information carriers. So I classify all speaking language into three different dimensions. The one dimension speaking language is the language only regard consonant as information carrier, as the Phoenician language, as the archaeologist only found consonants in their writing material. Then nearly all the European language can be regard as the two dimension speaking language. Some of the Asia and Africa language have tones, they are three dimension speaking languages. The relationship of dimension is multiplication, so the geometric figure it look like:
 And this classification can be explained exactly by the Cartesian coordinates about any single CV or V. the help of this coordinate, we may count the real number of sounds for any language clearly. So it could be easy to make comparison among them. Some friends told me that the European people could not utter tones that is a sort of racism. Anyone on this glob can utter and perceive tones. Think about the music tones, anyone can detect them and utter them very well.
