In some kind of support of Walter [dba Orwn], I suggest that the average human brain contains many latent neural links between speech areas, muscle memory, and behavior modeling and mirroring areas. If they exist strongly enough, they would tend to shape language sounds into forms most compatable with common behavioral activity sequences. There wouldn't have to be world-wide identity as to the sounds, just tendencies reinforced by local social agreement. Very speculative, but consider how brief the basic terms used for "self" usually are: rarely more than two syllables, often just one.
