		Non-initially, the neutral vowels are transparent to and unaffected by vowel harmony.
		Vowel harmony is a grammaticalized feature of phonotactics, thus it may not work as expected from pure phonology, as evidenced by tuotteeseensa (not *tuotteeseensä).

		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.
		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.

	Front vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A front vowel is a type of vowel sound used in some spoken languages.
		The defining characteristic of a front vowel is that the tongue is positioned as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
		In some languages, the open front vowels do not pattern or group with the other front vowels in their phonologies.

	Open front unrounded vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its vowel height is open, which means the tongue is positioned as far as possible from the roof of the mouth.
		Its vowel backness is front which means the tongue is positioned as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
		For languages that only have a single low vowel, the symbol for this vowel (a) is usually used because it is the only low vowel whose symbol is part of the basic Latin alphabet.

		Vowels, therefore, are defined as those sounds with which the air passes without major obstruction from the vocal folds to the lips.
		Daniel Jones developed what is known as the `cardinal vowel diagram' to map these possibilities and to give a frame of reference for the identification of vowel sounds in all languages and in all varieties within a language.
		The artificial nature of the vowel positions on the cardinal vowel diagram is obscured by the fact that, in many cases, letters from the Latin alphabet are used to reference particular points.

	Vowel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		Vowels are de-voiced in whispered speech, and in Japanese, vowels that are low pitched and between voiceless consonants are de-voiced.
		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).

	Vowels
		Unlike English the five basic vowels in Esperanto are not diphthongs, and it is very important for English speakers to strive to avoid tongue movement and to produce pure vowels.
		The 4 non-low English vowels mentioned above with the off-glide removed are common in the languages of the world and are called long vowels or tense vowels.
		However, both the tense vowel /e/ and the lax vowel /ɛ/ of 'bet' occur in the speech of many speakers of Esperanto, and the distribution probably depends on the distribution in the native language of the speaker.

	Close-mid front unrounded vowel : search word
		Its vowel height is close-mid, which means the tongue is positioned halfway between close vowel and a mid vowel.
		Discussion of this vowel can easily become confusing for English speakers, as the English name of the symbol, the letter e, is pronounced with a different vowel, [i], the close front unrounded vowel.
		This vowel does not occur by itself in English, but it forms the first part of the diphthong [eɪ;], which is the sound of the name of the letter A—another result of the Great Vowel Shift.

		Vowel harmony languages do their best to keep their particles/endings/suffixes clear and distinct while recognizing the need for easier speech.
		People who speak vowel harmony languages are as attuned to the problem of getting through breath-busters (rapid shifting between front and back vowels) as we are to negotiating consonant clusters.
		For actually learning a vowel harmony language, the first thing you’ll need to do is to consult a decent grammar to find out which vowels change in which ways and when.

		But there is also a clear difference in vowel quality, that is, the particular sound of the vowel (caused by different place of articulation and tongue height).
		A class of vowels is produced with movement of the articulators during the articulation, producing a glide within the syllable.
		Diphthongs have as their starting point a vowel which can be identified and described according to the principles discussed earlier/above: place of articulation, tongue height, and lip shape.

		Front vowel names were preferred over back when the product categories were knife and 2-seater convertible.
		In Klink’s research, front vowels were determined to convey meanings of smaller, lighter, quicker, sharper, whereas back vowels conveyed the opposite qualities of larger, heavier, slower, duller.
		To reiterate, we expected “ih” sounds (front vowels) to be preferred for the sportscar and the knife, and “aw” sounds (back vowels) to be preferred for the SUV and the hammer (H1 & H2).

		The problem is that the quality of a vowel depends on the shape of the space in the oral cavity during the passage of the airstream.
		The vowel limit is the highest point that any part of the tongue can be raised to in the oral cavity without causing either friction or compression as the airstream passes through the oral cavity.
		Basically, a high-front vowel is produced by raising the blade or front of the tongue to the upper vowel limit.

		Vowel assimilation has been claimed to develop from phonetic coarticulation (Ohala 1993, Beddor et al 1999), and to offer a production advantage in that assimilated vowel sequences result in articulatory economy (Lindblom 1983).
		Vowel harmony may also result in an economy at a "higher" level of speech planning.
		Sequences were grouped in two conditions: in the harmony condition the vowels in each CVCV word were uniformly front (/i:,e:/) or back (/u:,o:/), while under the disharmony condition the vowels in each word were dissimilar in frontness/backness.

		On this scale, the long vowels form a large inverted triangle, with the mid-long vowels raised along the front and back edges toward the upper corners.
		The relations between the long vowels (the triangle) and the short vowels (the pentagon) may be derived by four simple statements from a reasonable default distribution of vowels in this acoustic space, also characterized by four statements, which may themselves be derived from general facts of vowel phonetics.
		These follow a pattern opposite to that of the mid vowels, where the front vowel is higher than the back one: the front vowel, /ai/, is lower than the back vowel, /ou/.

		The front vowels before /r/ may be analysed in various ways as having from three to five heights.
		So analysing it as phonologically front or back is an arbitrary decision with respect to the phonetics, which may be made according to the phonologically simpler structure.
		The vowels before intervocalic /r/ in the classes weary, merry, and marry/rarity correspond to the three front-vowels /ir, r, r/, while Mary (=dairy), if not merged with the merry class, is analysed as having a syllable boundary before the /r/.

	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.

		Certain vowel groups seem to "merge" into one "hybrid" vowel in front of [r].
		The resulting vowel is a little longer than [i] and ends in a kind of off-glide, which sounds almost like [y].
		The resulting vowel is most similar to [e], with a slightly diphthongal quality.

		If their bias for front vowel errors decreases with experience, this will suggest that learners change their behaviour in order to solve a problematic MCA pattern during their L2 perceptual development.
		Non-parametric statistical tests on the ratio of the number of front vowel errors and the number of back vowel errors show that intermediate and advanced learners have a smaller bias towards front vowel errors than the beginners, i.e., the front error bias decreases with experience level.
		It might be the case that the front error bias is caused by some other phenomenon that we have not been able to track down.
