{{PAGENAME}} has 5 vowels and 12 consonants. Immediately upon seeking a common ground across East Asia, one encounters a great deal of diversity. Japanese is definitely the outlier, with the most restrictive sound inventory of all. Only Japanese does not contrast aspirated and unaspirated stops<ref>http://wals.info/feature/4A#4/28.77/115.93</ref>, instead opting for the more European-sounding voicing contrast<ref>http://wals.info/feature/5A#4/25.40/121.38</ref>. This distinction is difficult for Japanese-speakers to learn, but if the feature is not contrastive in affricates, it is easier<ref>http://www.conforg.fr/acoustics2008/cdrom/data/fa2005-budapest/paper/505-1.pdf</ref>. The operating principle of sound selection is, '''no other sounds than Japanese has, but including Japanese allophones'''. Japanese and Korean speakers will experience the same difficulty with /l/ vs /ɾ/ as they do with Europeans. | {{PAGENAME}} has 5 vowels and 12 consonants.
