[edit] Schwa

"The most common example is the schwa sound, present in nearly all languages."

Uh… what? If this is taken from the Schwa article, note that the definition there includes epenthetic vowels; there are many, many languages without centralized-reduced vowels AIUI (most monosyllabic and Polynesian langs, for just two examples.) --Tropylium 13:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
