What are the long and short vowel sounds?

The long vowel sounds are those that "say their names" as in A (ay), E, (ee), I (eye), and O (oh). The long U has two sounds, the long OO and the long YOO. The sound may be made by other vowels, and the Y can make long E and long I sounds.A - day, date, main, weighE - be, see, neat, scene, receive (Y in baby and lady)I - sign, die, bite, cry, nightO - cold, phone, floe, doughU - (OO) flute, nude, clue, dew / (YOO) cute, mule, feud, fuel, clue, view, unitThe short vowel sounds have a truncated pronunciation:ah as in appleeh as in bedih as in sitaah as in dot and mobuh as in butThere is also a short OO with the oo-uh sound as in book, foot, and good.Pronunciation of vowelsThe terms "long" and "short" do not properly apply to English vowels. Instead of referring to its actual length, any vowel that "says its name" in the pronunciation of an English word is held to be "long." But in words like truth and ooze, the vowel is clearly long, but since there is no vowel called Oo, it cannot be called a long vowel. Likewise, if the A in fat is short, then the A in father must be long, but there is no vowel called Ah. The term "broad," rather than "long" is often used when attempting a meaningful description of English vowel quantity.
