 Close vowel at AllExperts
A close vowel is a type of vowel sound used in many spoken languages.
The defining characteristic of a close vowel is that the tongue is positioned as close as possible to the roof of the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
Close vowels are often referred to as high vowels, as in the Americanist phonetic tradition, because the tongue is positioned high in the mouth during the articulation of a close vowel.

 Fictional Linguistics: Lesson I.B: Vowels
In some languages vowels contrast between “Long” and “Short” based on the amount of TIME spent on them; generally a Long vowel is pronounced twice as long as a Short vowel.
In notation, long vowels can be differentiated from short vowels by doubling them (/aa/ for a long vowel, /a/ for a short vowel) or by writing a colon (:) after them (/i:/ for a long vowel, /i/ for a short vowel).
Nasalization: Anytime a vowel is followed by a nasal consonant (n, m, N), it tends to change its sound a little.
