First of all, humans are primates, and we can talk.If you want to know why the other primates can't talk, it's because speech involves some very complex and subtle, well-coordinated movements of breath and the organs of the mouth, relative position of tongue and lips and teeth, and other factors. The other primates simply do not have mouth structures that make it possible for them to form the sounds of human speech.
Primates is a plural noun. The singular is primate.
Most primative form of mass communication: Shouting; before speech in primates, loud sounds that the group associated with danger.
Speech Sounds was created in 1983.

Russian has 33 consonant sounds and 10 vowel sounds, making a total of 43 speech sounds.
Scientist still aren't completely sure about the function/s of the uvula. However, they believe that it produces saliva which lubricates the mouth. This in turn helps with speech. So yes , the uvula does help with speech.
understanding speech sounds
We only have 26 letters, but there are 44 speech sounds.
Speech sounds are made by the vibrations of air forced through the vocal chords, tongue and lips. For this reason languages can have distinct sounds depending on how the sounds are produced.
Attempts to teach non-human primates human language have been hindered by several factors, including anatomical limitations, cognitive differences, and the complexity of human language itself. Primates lack the vocal apparatus necessary for producing human speech sounds, which restricts their ability to communicate verbally. Additionally, while some primates can learn signs or symbols, their understanding of grammar and abstract concepts often falls short of human capabilities. These challenges illustrate the significant cognitive and physiological gaps between humans and non-human primates.
