Labiodental fricatives /f v/ are less present in languages having a small number of consonants

The geographical distribution of small inventory size languages overlaps with Hunter-Gatherers populations, leading to a possible confusion. The particular characteristics of Australia are detailed because symptomatic of this confusion.
