Wollen sie etwa behaupten, die Informationsübermittlungsgeschwindigkeit der deutschen Sprache sei unterdurchschnittlich? So eine Unverschämtheit!

Hard to tell. Need something like "bits of information per syllable" to get at efficiency. Just eyeballing it, Vietnamese, English, and Cantonese seem most likely the most efficient.

Cantonese and Vietnamese make sense, as they're are both tonal languages (along with Mandarin, Thai, Punjabi, and Cherokee apparently). English wastes tones on communicating stress or question vs statement.

Italian has a wildly different set than everyone else pretty much.
