Is the Schwa the most common vowel sound outside of English? If so, we've found ourselves the "sound of human". Cow goes Moo Dog goes Bark Human goes Uh

EDIT: Not the most present in Spanish and doesn't exist in Japanese, so here's my update to "Human goes Uh": "American goes Uh". Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

In my linguistic experience (English , Spanish, French, Japanese, Norwegian, Mandarin), the languages that use schwa besides English are French (unaccented E) and Mandarin, which uses it a lot.
