∙ 9y agoThe biggest difference between a consonant in a vowel is that the vowels can be pronounced properly by themselves, while consonants cannot. For example, when pronouncing the consonant "D" by itself, an "uh" sound is appended to the end of it. Additionally, the vowels are necessity in polysyllabic words as there is no way to pronounce a continuous string of consonants without the aid of vowels.
