but humming counts as singing, doesn’t it? which means that you COULD sing without vowels
myrmidex@belgae.social · 17 pts · 206d
and birds also don't have official vowels. I'm starting to see the flaws in my thought :)

Yea, some voiced consonants like L, M, N, R and maybe Y would work fine for singing, I think. Like if we only had words like "Hm", or "Lt" (pronounced similar to "ult"), you could sing it fine.

I mean those are already halfway to vowels. In Japanese, "N" can be its own syllable.
ZephyrXero@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 206d
No, I would not consider humming singing
bdot@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 206d
well - Wikipedia seems to disagree, and says “common definitions include "the utterance of words or sounds in tuneful succession"”
and that was just the first place i looked.

30 years ago my music teacher told me that in Chinese-language singing it's the consonants that are sustained.

And also vowel (open-mouth) sounds. They just hold consonant sounds like English singers holds vowel sounds.

I feel like this is a bit like saying "If cars didn't have wheels, there would be no Formula 1".
