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.
-- The schwa sound can be any unstressed sound (ah, eh, ih, uh).
There are special sounds such as
-- the caret A (long A with an R sounds like "air")
-- the caret O (OR or AW sound)
-- the OU pair sound (OW)
-- 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 er, ir, and ur are all schwa sounds that have about the same sound,.
The English language has a total of 20 vowel sounds, which can be further divided into short and long vowels, diphthongs, and r-controlled vowels. These sounds are produced by changing the position of the tongue, lips, and jaw while vocalizing. Examples include the sounds of "a" in "cat," "ee" in "feet," and "ou" in "house."
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.
