No. Although groups of languages treat vowels and consonants similarly (such as those languages that developed from Latin), letter sounds can vary considerably. In the case of the original Chinese and Japanese languages, there are no letters at all, but the evolution of pictographs to stand for speech sounds.
No, different languages have different sets of consonant and vowel sounds. While there are some sounds that are common across many languages, there are also unique sounds that are specific to certain languages or language families. These variations in sounds can lead to challenges for language learners when trying to produce unfamiliar sounds.
No, different languages have different phoneme distinctions based on their unique phonetic inventory and phonological rules. For example, some languages may have more vowel sounds while others may distinguish between different types of consonant sounds.
No, consonant sounds are produced by obstructing or restricting the airflow in some way, such as by closing the lips or putting the tongue against the teeth, whereas vowel sounds are produced with a relatively open vocal tract and without any significant obstruction.

Yes, "dough" and "grouch" have the same vowel sound in American English, which is the "ow" diphthong sound. However, the consonant sounds before and after the vowel sound differ in each word.
The type of rhyme present when the words have the same ending consonant sound but different vowel sounds is called a consonance rhyme. This can create a subtle similarity in sound without a perfect match in vowels, adding a unique twist to the rhyme scheme.
yes they have the same consonant
Consonance, as opposed to assonance of vowel sounds or alliteration of sounds at the beginning of words.
No, different languages have different phoneme distinctions based on their unique phonetic inventory and phonological rules. For example, some languages may have more vowel sounds while others may distinguish between different types of consonant sounds.
"Life" and "Strife" is an example of half impure rhyme, where the ending consonant sounds are the same but the preceding vowel sounds are slightly different. Another example is "Foul" and "Mole" where the consonant sounds match but the vowel sounds differ slightly.
No, consonant sounds are produced by obstructing or restricting the airflow in some way, such as by closing the lips or putting the tongue against the teeth, whereas vowel sounds are produced with a relatively open vocal tract and without any significant obstruction.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sounds and assonance is the repetition of the same vowel sounds.
