The other vowels are 'auditorily equidistant' between these three 'corner vowels', at four degrees of aperture or 'height': close (high tongue position), close-mid, open-mid, and open (low tongue position).
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.

 VOWEL FACTS AND INFORMATION
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 Polynesian_languages such as Maori and Hawaiian), and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants.
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.

The vowels are organized based on how open the mouth is, from almost closed to fully open.
In the cases of vowel pairs the first vowel is a spread vowel, where the corners of the mouth are held far apart, and the second is a rounded vowel, where the lips are held in an "o" shape.
The first division divides the right half into consonants, and the left half into vowels and semivowels (which includes true semivowels and approximants).
