What language has the largest known number of consonant sounds?

The language with the largest known number of consonant sounds is !Xóõ, a language spoken by the !Xóõ people in Namibia and Botswana. It has a staggering 130 consonant sounds.

While other languages like Ubykh and Taa are often cited for having a large number of consonants, !Xóõ surpasses them with its extensive inventory.

It's important to note that this number includes allophones, which are slight variations in a sound that don't create a difference in meaning. However, even considering only the phonemes (distinct sounds that differentiate meaning), !Xóõ still has a remarkably large number of consonants.
