Usually just 9, unless it's a younger league when they occassionally allow a tenth player in the field called a "rover" who usually stand somewhere around second base.
9 for the defense (fielding) and up to 4 for the offensse (batting/running)
i know in fast pitch softball it is 4 outfielders allowed on the field at once
It is shaped as a diamond.

Shortstop
The fundamentals are catching, throwing, hitting, and baserunning. I would also consider playing position as a fundamental in softball because there is a proper way of executing the playing positions on the field.
During an inning of softball, the coach is only allowed to conference with his/her players one time. The only exception is if a player is injured. The players on the field may call time-outs, however, the coach can only conference with them once.
they would give a lot more hand signels than talking to the player at bat or in the field
it begins with a first inning and it goes on...
It is 60 feet from home to first on a softball field. It is the same distance between all the bases. The pitcher's mound is 40 to 43 feet way depending on the level of competition. The depth of the outfield varies from field to field.
Because it is supposed to be challenging for the players to field the ball and the batter to get on base.
Softball is played on a softball field or it is often referred to as a diamond.
