Answer:

The sentence shows that consonant phonemes usually carry more information than do those that represent vowels.

Step-by-step explanation:

A phoneme is the minimal phonological unit in sound.

Consonant phonemes are the type of phonemes in which air has a difficulty or an obstacle when getting out, unlike vowels which allow the air to get out without an obstacle. They are classified by the area in which they are formed, such as the nasal cavity, the oral cavity or the vocal cords, amongst others.

This sentence translates to: the truth of this statement should be evident.

We can get an idea of what the sentence was before the translation which would be more difficult if we only got the vowels.
