Link between geographical location and phonemes

I don't think it's quantifiable but I honestly believe it has something to do with it.

Fucking what? The Germanic languages have the largest vowel inventories in the world

>less vowel density
fixed it, my point still stands.

> Nordic languages have fewer vowels
Nope.
> gutturals
Nope. The most southern IE languages, Hindi/Sanskrit has more gutturals than most IE languages.

In answer to the general question,
No. I don't think so.

Is this studied by linguists at all? You may be onto something op.

it might had something to do with it initially, but languages don't just stay still and constantly migrate after their hosts.

> less vowels and lots of guttural sounds as if you'd prefer to keep your mouth less open when it's colder
Yeah, that's why Georgians (and a lot of neighbouring Caucasians) who live in a sub-tropical climate have a guttural language with clusterfuck of consonants with dick all of wovels.

Languages of people in warm humid climates are more likely to develop into tonal languages.

I also remember hearing somewhere that mountainous regions (like the Andes and the Caucasus )favor ejective consonants for some reason, but I don't have a source for that.
