Natural languages are what people use for verbal communication, including writing. Artificial languages are things like computer programming languages.
The prototypical example of too many consonants is
"Strč prst skrz krk" . Some letters like 'r' are consonants in both English and Czech. However, in Czech they can function, more or less, as vowels.
