Language and Vocal Chords?
I couldn't find an anatomy section and I didn't think it fit in the Language area... correct me if there is a better place to put this.
Is it possible for someone's primary language to affect the way that a person's vocal chords grow? And if so, will it be enough to where they can't *accurately* pronounce a certain sound in another language? Such as when an umlaut is put on the u or o in German.

It won't affect the actual growth of the vocal cords, but the parts of the brain that control the vocal cords are shaped by patterns of speech.
