So england and english colonies, spain and spanish colonies, portugal and potugese colonies and france and french colonies mean three sounds dominate it. I wonder how much more diversity there would be if not for colonization.

And not just for barking sounds lol but generally for language. A lot of modern words tend to be english words and we just use them universally. Ofc languages jave always borrowed words and originat from many places but english is getting too universal now.

Half of English's words are borrowed from other languages anyway.
