The two basic types are long vowels and short vowel sounds.
-- Long vowels "say their name" and sound like AY, EE, eye, OH, or OO (also YOO).
-- Short vowel sounds are ah (apple), eh (get), ih (sit), aah (stop), and uh (rut). There is also a short OO sound, as in good and foot.

There are special sounds such as the caret O (OR or AW sound) and the OU pair sound (OW), and the OI pair sound (OY) as in coin and boy. The OI sound is created by the sounds O-I-E, blended together.
Besides the OR, other vowels also have slightly different sounds when stressed and paired with an R : the umlaut A (car), caret I (ear, beer) and caret U (er and ur). When unstressed, the ar, er, ir, and ur are all schwa sounds that have about the same sound.
There are two main types of vowel sounds: monophthongs, which are single, pure vowel sounds, and diphthongs, which are a combination of two vowel sounds within the same syllable. Monophthongs include sounds like /a/, /e/, and /i/, while diphthongs include sounds like /aɪ/, /oʊ/, and /eɪ/.
Pure vowel sounds are vowel sounds that are formed with a single unchanging configuration of the vocal tract. These sounds do not have any glide or movement from one sound to another. Examples of pure vowel sounds include /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/.
Assonance is the term for the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words, whereas alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds.
No, not all vowel sounds are voiced. Vowel sounds can be either voiced or voiceless depending on the position of the vocal cords during articulation. Voiced vowel sounds are produced with vibration of the vocal cords, while voiceless vowel sounds are produced without vibration of the vocal cords.
The repetition of vowel sounds within a word is called vowel rhyme.
The long vowel sounds in "absentminded" are: "a" in "absent" "i" in "minded"
i think prey is a vowel sounds
Vowel sounds connect and express the more numerous consonant sounds (which are the more specially shaped sounds) to create words. Vowel sounds are the oldest language sounds.
Repeated vowel sounds are when the same vowel sound is used in close proximity within a word or phrase, creating a musical or rhythmic effect. This can occur through the repetition of a single vowel or multiple vowels that create a harmonious or lyrical quality in speech or writing.
Assonance is the term for the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words, whereas alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds.
There are 15-20 vowel sounds in English, depending on the dialect, and around 24 consonant sounds. Vowel sounds are produced without any significant constriction or closure in the vocal tract, while consonant sounds are created by obstructing airflow in different ways.
The vowel sounds in the word "stencil" are /ɛ/ (as in "s t e n c i l").

Pure vowel sounds are vowel sounds that are formed with a single unchanging configuration of the vocal tract. These sounds do not have any glide or movement from one sound to another. Examples of pure vowel sounds include /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/.
