	Vowel - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In phonetics, a vowel is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by an open configuration of the vocal tract, in contrast to consonants, which are characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract.
		Furthermore, in English some vowel sounds are represented by combinations of vowel letters, such as the ea in beat or by a vowel letter and an approximant letter, as the ow in how, or the er in her.
		Vowels are especially important to the structures of words in languages that have very few consonants (like Pacific languages such as Maori and Hawaiian) and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants (like Sedang, a relative of Vietnamese, which contrasts 55 different vowel qualities).

		The origin of the letter is a ligature for the diphthong "OE" that has become a letter in itself.
		In modern Danish and Norwegian, the letter is a unique vowel, and neither a diphthong, a ligature, nor a variant of the letter "O".

		However, some languages allow sounds that wouldn't normally be classified as vowels to form the nucleus of a syllable, such as the sound of ''l'' in the English word ''table'' (the final ''e'' is not pronounced), or the sound of ''r'' in the Czech word ''vrba'' (meaning "willow").
		In tonal_languages, in most cases the tone of a syllable is carried by the vowel, meaning that the relative pitch or the pitch contour that marks the tone is superimposed on the vowel.
		Vowels are especially important to the structures of words in languages that have very few consonants (like Polynesian_languages such as Maori and Hawaiian), and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants.

		The greatest degree of pharyngealisation is found in the strident vowels of the Khoisan languages, where the larynx is raised, and the pharynx constricted, so that either the epiglottis or the arytenoid cartilages vibrate instead of the vocal chords.
		English has all three types: the vowel sound in hit is a monophthong [Éª], the vowel sound in boy is in most dialects a diphthong [É”Éª], and the vowel sounds of way [weÉª], flower (BrE [aÊÉ] AmE [aÊÉ]) form a triphthong (dissylabic in the latter cases), although the particular qualities vary by dialect.
		For example, the vowel sounds in a two-syllable pronunciation of the word flower (BrE [flaÊÉ] AmE [flaÊÉ]) phonetically form a dissyllabic triphthong, but are phonologically a sequence of a diphthong (represented by the letters ) and a monophthong (represented by the letters ).

		Note that /w/ and /j/, when following a vowel and not preceding a vowel, combined early on with the vowel to form a diphthong and were thus not lost.
		The loss of /j/ after a consonant was accompanied by a large number of complex changes, including diphthongization of a preceding vowel or palatalization or other change to a directly preceding consonant.
		An additional, extremely important class is that of ''contracted verbs'', where the stem itself ends in a vowel, and the vowel contracts with the initial (thematic) vowel of the endings.
