		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.
		In high vowels, such as [i] and [u], the tongue is positioned high in the mouth, whereas in low vowels, such as [a], the tongue is positioned low in the mouth.

		Open Court provides practice texts in phonics lessons that are typically fully decodable, allowing students to practice decoding strategies in authentic reading, thereby improving their sight vocabulary while encouraging a decoding strategy.
		Open Court pioneered the practice of providing meaningful names and illustrations of phonemes, and continues to be the only major basal series that provides this excellent device for making phonemes familiar to children.
		Open Court phonics is also systematic in moving steadily through all or most of the major grapheme-phoneme correspondences children need for decoding expertise.

	TRINPsite: Book of Symbols: The Choice of Vowel(s) and Consonant(s)
		In phonetics cardinal vowels are often plotted on a diagram with the sound ï (pronounced as in technique), or a similar but shorter one, at the extreme left.
		So far as vowels are concerned we conclude therefore that on the symbolistic view words denoting and/or connoting centrality or neutrality, central or neutral things, or things in the same associative field, should have ä as a vowel, or as the most important or central vowel.
		That the ä is not only a universal vowel but also of a neutral nature clearly shows in the (main dialect of the) most widely spoken language (which does not belong to the same family as the present language).

	The Passaggio
		It is important to remember that Garcia's concept of "one vowel" is actually the open pharynx; or the deep and open vowel sounds which are created beyond the back of the tongue.
		Vowels must be allowed to alter in order for the throat to stay open on ascending passages.
		The truth of the matter is that if the passaggio is properly produced, the throat will become OPEN, the vowels will ALTER, and the diction will actually become more understandable than if the singer is attempting to pronounce "pure vowels" well into his/her high range.

	Achieving Balance in the "Ah" Vowel
		This demands that the vowel change be controlled with the tongue rather than "spreading the mouth opening".
		This is the reason Lindquest worked "ee, oh, ee, oh, etc." and "eh, ah, eh, ah, etc." Both these vowel relationships bring the tongue in a more forward position in the closed vowel preparing for the "ring" to be blended into the open vowel.
		Her approach was to mix a little "ee" and "eh" into the "ah" vowel.

		If the vowel or diphthong is followed by two or more consonants, division takes place between the consonants, and the syllable is closed (e.g., in in-tem-pes-ti-vi the first three syllables are closed, the last two open).
		If a vowel or diphthong is followed by a single consonant, that consonant is taken with the next syllable, and the first syllable is called open (e.g., o-cu-li has three open syllables).
		If a word ending with a vowel or m is followed by a word beginning with a vowel or h, the first of the adjacent syllables is suppressed (elision), e.g.: multum ille et = mult_ill_et.

	The Great Vowel Shift -- brief note on language
		Moreover, knowing when Middle English "e" represents /æ:/ and when "ou" (spelled o) is the open vowel depends on knowing the eymology of the words.

		The Great Vowel shift invloved a regular movement of the places of articulation: The front vowels each moved up a notch, except for /i:/, which formed a dipthong.

	'sorry' and 'starry' - same or different vowel in American (page 2) Antimoon Forum
		Stop is pronounced like /stAp/ Start is pronounced like /stVrt/ "Stop" has a back open unrounded vowel, while in "start," the vowel is only half-open, as in the word "run." Personally, I pronounce the word "arm" like /Arm/ like in standard American, but I've heard it pronounced like /Vrm/ before in Michigan.
		For example, the difference between their pronunciation of "about" compared to the American one has to do with using a half-open vowel rather than an open one.
		Canadians, who live in an even colder climate than Michigan, might do this as well, as they are notorious for using half-open vowels rather than open ones.

		The English [o] and [e] vowels are realized as diphthongs, but they are included here with the plain vowels because the [ɪ] and [ʊ] are just off-glides.
		The distinction between long and short vowels is more pronounced in British and Australian English than in American English (where many researchers do not transcribe any length for vowels at all).
		Diphthongs are vowel sounds that smoothly glide from one vowel to another.

		Vowel sound produced when the tongue is in an extreme position, either front or back, high or low.
		For instance, the vowel of the English word "feet" can be described with reference to cardinal vowel 1, [i], which is the cardinal vowel closest to it.
