Comment on I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster?
I think the guy you responded to was making a joke about how some native English speakers talk
No, they were pointing out that, even though English doesn’t use a separate symbol to each phonemic vowel sound, there are 20 distinct vowel phonemes. If we have each its own letter, there would be 20 vowels in English.
