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.
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 repetition of vowel sounds.
The repetition of vowel sounds within a word is called vowel rhyme.
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.

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.

German has a total of 6 vowel sounds.
The language with the fewest vowel sounds is Rotokas, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea. It has only six vowel sounds.
The number of vowel sounds in a language can depend on the dialect, because one or more vowels/vowel pairs can have the same sound.
Initial vowel sound: apple, elephant, igloo Medial vowel sounds: banana, hello, tiger
