Wilhelm Vietor,(1850 - 1918) a German philologist and phonetician. It shows the position of the tongue and jaw according to vowel sounds
The main difference between a pure vowel and a diphthong is that a vowel makes one sound with the tongue. A diphthong is when the tongue moves position to make the sound of 2 vowels.
A back vowel is a type of vowel sound that is produced with the back of the tongue positioned towards the back of the mouth. Examples of back vowels include "oo" as in "boot" and "aw" as in "caught." These vowels are typically characterized by a lower position of the tongue compared to front vowels.
The four parameters of vowel sounds are height, backness, tenseness, and rounding. Height refers to the position of the tongue in the mouth (high, mid, or low), backness refers to the position of the tongue in relation to the back of the mouth (front, central, or back), tenseness refers to the amount of muscle tension in the tongue (tense or lax), and rounding refers to the shape of the lips (rounded or unrounded).

A Vietor triangle is a graphic representation of vowel sounds. Wilhelm Vietor, a German philologist and phonetician generated this. It demonstrates that the position of the jaw and tongue according the vowel sounds when speaking.

purevowels are vowel sounds where the tongue maintains the same vowel position throughout for example the vowel sound in the word tea.Whereas a diphthong is a glide from one vowel position to another within the same syllable,examples of diphthong are : pale, boy,house,date,cow.

A back vowel is a type of vowel sound that is produced with the back of the tongue positioned towards the back of the mouth. Examples of back vowels include "oo" as in "boot" and "aw" as in "caught." These vowels are typically characterized by a lower position of the tongue compared to front vowels.
The four parameters of vowel sounds are height, backness, tenseness, and rounding. Height refers to the position of the tongue in the mouth (high, mid, or low), backness refers to the position of the tongue in relation to the back of the mouth (front, central, or back), tenseness refers to the amount of muscle tension in the tongue (tense or lax), and rounding refers to the shape of the lips (rounded or unrounded).

Tongue has a schwa vowel followed by a voiced consonant called the velar nasal, which gives it a long syllable. The terms "long" and "short" do not properly apply to English vowel sounds.
The word tongue (pronounced /tʌŋ/)(tung) has a short U vowel sound (uh), the same as in the words gun, buck, or nut.
A schwa is the vowel sound made when the tongue is in the mid-central part of the mouth. It is the -er- sound in the word herd. This does depend somewhat on accent.
