R-controlled vowels are typically considered long vowels because they create a new sound when combined with the letter "r" that is different from the short vowel sound. For example, the vowel in "car" or "bird" is considered long due to the influence of the "r" sound.
Long vowels are pronounced with a greater duration than short vowels. They are typically followed by a single vowel in a word. Short vowels, on the other hand, are pronounced briefly and are usually followed by a consonant in a word.
Short vowels are pronounced briefly, while long vowels are held for a longer duration.
