Is there any nation in the world that can't speak?

Yes!

In the tropical rain forest in western Bolivia, South America, there is an Indian tribe named Kelunga, who was born speechless. There are always about 40 thousand people who hunt for a living. Their vocal cords are inherently different, and they can't make all kinds of complicated sounds. People usually talk in sign language, thus forming the unique sign language of the tribe.

In addition, on the southeast coast of Greenland, near the Arctic Circle, there is a resident who was once called "dumb". However, this nation is not born dumb. Their "voice loss" is due to their long-term living in the frozen zone, long-term isolation, sparsely populated, and the simple language as a necessary means of life communication tends to disappear. When the Dane Heaulme first discovered them in 1886, there were only 145 left. As a substitute for language, these people also have their own sign language.
