	Open vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An open vowel is a vowel sound of a type used in most spoken languages.

	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 usually form the peak or nucleus of a syllable, whereas consonants form the onset and coda.
		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 (like Sedang, a relative of Vietnamese, which contrasts 55 different vowel qualities).

		Consonants are different from vowels in that the airflow from the lungs is nearly or completely stopped at some point in the vocal tract.
