Which language has most and least sounds?

What language has most and least different sounds , phonemes?

When I listen to Arabic, for example, it sounds only like 'a's, spanish 'j's and 'l's and all words sound the same. And when I look at (don't know how it sounds) Finnish text it appears all 'k's, 'l' 'n's and etcetra.

On the other hand, I think English has many sounds.

I'm not an expert however, what is the scientific conclusion?

Rotokas (11 phonemes)

!Xóõ (112 phonemes).

This information was found by basically putting your question into Google.

Whether it is accurate, I don't know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!X%C3%B3%C3%B5_language

If you type in the address above, you may find the interesting sounds of what I believe is !Xóõ.

I'm sorry, but the second Wiki address won't work for !Xóõ (most phonemes)...


What fun to discover this language!

Thanks very interesting.

Now, how about of the major languages?
