The vowel "I" at the beginning of a word is usually pronounced as a "long vowel" ("eye") when it is immediately followed by another vowel (e.g. ion, iambic), or begins with the Greek prefix "iso" (eye-so). In nearly every other case, the vowel "I" is a "short vowel" ("ih") when preceding a consonant (e.g. inner, imagine). Exceptions are"ichor", "irate", and three-letter words ending with "e" or "y" (ire, icy).

Do the words mother and brother have a long or short vowel sound?
The words "mother" and "brother" have an "uh" sound that is typically sounded as a short U (compare to mutter).The words "mother" and "brother" have a short vowel sound. A long vowel sound carries the vowel as in "o" in loose or the "e" in femur. Short vowel sounds do not carry the sound of the vowel, as the "o" in foot or the "o" in dog. A good way of showing the difference is to take one word with a short vowel sound such as "bit" and listen to how the I sounds, then make a long vowel sound (eye rather than /ih/ ) and you'd pronounce the word as b-eye-t, which is bite.
