> Tonal languages allows individuals to express way more than Latin based languages.

Not true. There was a study that showed that information density is pretty consistent across all languages, regardless of the average number of phonemes used in that language or the strategies that are employed to encode structural information like syntax. I can only assume you are refering to the density with your statement based on the subject matter in that article as well as the fact that, given enough time and words, any language can represent anything any other language can represent.

I apologise if my terms are not exact, it's been years since I've studied linguistics. In addition, since I'm not going to dig up a reference to that paper, my claim here is just heresay. However the finding lines up with a pretty much all linguistic theory I learned regarding language acquisition and production as well as theory on how language production and cognition are linked so I was confident in the paper's findings even though a lot of the theory went over my head.

Language density is one thing but what about legibility?

How achievable is literacy?
