What is a word for Language that consists of one or more phonemes?

There isn't a single word that specifically describes a language that consists of one or more phonemes. This is because all languages consist of phonemes.

Here's why:

* Phoneme: The smallest unit of sound that distinguishes meaning in a language.

* Language: A system of communication that uses symbols (sounds, gestures, or written characters) to represent meaning.

Therefore, any language, regardless of its complexity, will inherently have phonemes.

If you're looking for a term to describe a language with a specific number of phonemes, you could use:

* Phoneme inventory: This refers to the complete set of phonemes in a language.

* Low-phonemic language: A language with a relatively small phoneme inventory.

* High-phonemic language: A language with a relatively large phoneme inventory.

Remember, while the number of phonemes in a language can vary, all languages rely on phonemes for their sound systems and to convey meaning.
