close_back_unrounded_vowel } Note that although [a] is listed as a front vowel, it is considered as a central vowel by many.
Cardinal vowels are obtained by dividing the "operture space" between the closest vowels [i] and [u] and the most open vowel [a] in four equal "degrees" of operture: close (high tongue position), close-mid, open-mid, and open (low tongue position).
These degrees of operture plus the front-back distinction originates 8 reference articulatory points, and the 16 IPA cardinal vowels when the position of lips are considered (rounded/unrounded vowels).

 ScienceDaily: Korean language
Two more vowels, the close-mid front rounded vowel /ø/ and the close front rounded vowel /y/, can still be heard in the speech of some older speakers, but they have been largely replaced by the diphthongs [we] and [wi] respectively.
Traditionally, the Korean language has had strong vowel harmony; that is, in pre-modern Korean, as in most Altaic languages, not only did the inflectional and derivational affixes (such as postpositions) change in accordance to the main root vowel, but native words also adhered to vowel harmony.
There is a very close connection between the dialects of Korean and the regions of Korea, since the boundaries of both are largely determined by mountains and seas.

 Lojban Reference Grammar: Chapter 3
The buffer vowel should be as laxly pronounced as possible, as central as possible, and as short as possible.
A diphthong is a vowel sound that consists of two elements, a short vowel sound and a glide, either a labial (IPA [w]) or palatal (IPA [j]) glide, that either precedes (an on-glide) or follows (an off-glide) the main vowel.
Since every syllable has a vowel sound (or diphthong or syllabic consonant) as its nucleus, and the stress is on the vowel sound itself, the terms ``stressed syllable'' and ``stressed vowel'' are largely interchangeable concepts.
