Assuming we apply the concept of radix economy to a alphabet language, what would be the numbers of syllabes and vowels that would have the best radix economy?
Assuming we apply the concept of radix economy to a alphabet language, what would be the numbers of syllabes and vowels that would have the best radix economy?

Lets assume the language only allow CV (single consonant followed by a single vowel) syllabes.187.115.231.86 (talk) 14:02, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * See also: . Again, it is nor clear how to apply the concept of radix economy to a language, and even less so if there are two parameters that can be tweaked: (1) number of syllables and (2) number of vowels. I suppose, though, that for any reasonable extension of the concept you can't do better than three syllables, each consisting of a single vowel, e.g. a, i and o. (Aaoa oio aaa oioo oaa oiaao? Oao, io oao iioaiao.) --Lambiam 19:15, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Using only CV syllables, make that Kakakoka kokiko kakaka kokikoko kokaka kokikakako? Kokako, kiko kokako kikikokakikako. --Lambiam 13:09, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
