As a student of Japanese, I often get confused when listening to Japanese because there are so few sounds and therefore many homonyms.
This gave me the idea of a language with only two sounds, "ku" and "ka", being used to express everything. Sort of an analogue to the idea of encoding everything using the binary digits of zero and one.
