Vowel Vowels form one of the two principal classes of speech sound, the other being that of consonants. Vowels vary in quality, in loudness and also in quantity (length). They are usually voiced, and are closely involved in prosodic variation such as tone, intonation and stress. Vowel sounds are produced with an open vocal tract. The word vowel comes from the Latin word vocalis, meaning vocal (i.e. relating to the voice). In English, the word vowel is commonly used to refer both to vowel sounds and to the written symbols that represent them.

If it does not, such as the suffix ly, it is just added to the word.hus, some is some, where me is the /m/ sound, none has the /n/ sound spelled ne, infinite has the /t/ sound spelled te and vaccine has the /n/ sound spelled ne..

- 1. Vowels and Consonants. Phonetically, it is easy to give definitions: a vowel is any sound with no audible noise produced by constriction in the vocal tract, and consonant is a sound with audible noise produced by a constriction. However, this definition forces us to identify as vowels many sounds which function as consonants in speech. For example, in the English word yes, the initial [j] is phonetically a vowel according to the definition above.

- Technically, a diphthong is a vowel with two different targets: that is, the tongue (and/or other parts of the speech apparatus) moves during the pronunciation of the vowel. In most dialects of English, the phrase no highway cowboys /ˌnoʊ ˈhaɪweɪ ˈkaʊbɔɪz/ has five distinct diphthongs, one in every syllable. centering diphthong is one that begins with a more peripheral vowel and ends with a more central one, such as [ɪə̯] , [ɛə̯] , and [ʊə̯] in Received Pronunciation or [iə̯] and [uə̯] in Irish. Many centering diphthongs are also opening diphthongs ([iə̯] , [uə̯]). Diphthongs may contrast in how far they open or close.

What's the difference between a vowel and a consonant? a vowel is the letters A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. a consonant is every other letter. if you're looking for actual differences, vowels are sounded WITHOUT the lips touching eachother, or the tongue touching the top of the mouth, consonants are the exact opposite. of course, there are exceptions to that..

Long and Short English Vowels When syllables end in a vowel and then consonant (as in the examples above), the vowel is usually short. If there is more than one consonant, the vowel is almost always short. This becomes important as a way to keep the same vowel sound when adding-ed to put a verb into the past tense. We often double an ending consonant to keep a short vowel short. For example, the past tense of 'stop' is 'stopped.' Otherwise the silent 'e' rule below (which also applies when followed by 'd') would give it a long 'o' sound like soap or hope. See the Simple Past Tense explanation of spelling changes.

What Makes a Vowel a Vowel and a Consonant a Consonant Basically, a vowel is a sound that is made with the mouth and throat not closing at any point. In contrast, a consonant is a sound that is made with the air stopping once or more during the vocalization. That means that at some point, the sound is stopped by your teeth, tongue, lips, or constriction of the vocal cords.
