	Encyclopedia: Hangul
		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.
		Medial (ì¤‘ì±, ä¸è² jungseong): The vowels comprising the syllable nucleus.
		The shapes of the consonants were designed scientifically, according to articulatory phonetics; and the vowels philosophically, according to the principles of yin and yang, and of heaven, earth, and man. The field of articulatory phonetics is a subfield of phonetics.

	Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology
		For example, since all the other nasal consonants and nasal vowels (if a language has them) have feature matrices that are defined as [+nasal], we can refer to all these segments in a phonological rule at one fell swoop by making the rule apply to [+nasal] segments.
		This vowel height feature is only required when a language has four levels of height contrast and remains unspecified for languages with fewer vowel height contrasts.
		Note, however, that short vowels are more likely to be produced with under-realised targets (more mid-central) during connected speech than are long vowels because the long vowels have more time to reach their targets.

	Onomatopoeia
		In language, vowels, semi-vowels, glides and liquids are periodical; fricatives are transmitted by random noises.
		The intonation contour of an isolated vowel tends to move over a considerable pitch range, and the perceived pitch of such a vowel is usually unpredictable.
		When you paste the cuckoo's sound into the vowels' window (or vice verza), the formants' graph is exactly preserved, but the sound undergoes considerable distortion.

	How To Learn To Sing
		Cause the sounds to be emitted wholly by the vowel, mezza voce; for when one speaks or sings inhalf-voice the vowel organs retain their natural elasticity.
		Promote the suppleness of the movements of the veil of the palate and of the tongue, to attain by this means a fresh emission of the voice, by broadening and narrowing the isthmus of the throat and of the buccal cavity, in order to obtain all the shades of the timbres required for expressive song.
		Having conducted the pupil's voice to the stage reached through the course described, and always by means of the vowel, with no word articulated, proceed to the study of coloratura, to endow the voice with all its elasticity and avert the danger it might encounter in declamatory song.

		Not surprisingly, the realizations of the tones are affected by their surroundings, especially vowel pharyngealization, breathy voice, and glottalization, which all lower the pitch.
		Strident vowels are analyzed as breathy pharyngealized vowels, for both articulatory reasons (much more air flow than normal vowels, as well as pharyngeal constriction) and distributional ones (they follow the same restrictions that breathy and pharyngealized vowels do), though they aren't made just with breathy voicing and pharyngealization.
		The epiglottis vibrates during strident vowels, but their most important feature is the constriction of the laryngeal sphincter; a similar situation occurs when coughing.

		Moreover, if we broaden the scope of our investigation to include vowel reduction (which like consonant lenition, occurs more readily the faster the speech rate and the lower the register, and is commonly blocked in stressed syllables, and hence would appear to warrant a unified treatment), we arrive at a paradox.
		Word-initial vowels do not centralize: I s¿N IkI#N ''The fish (pl.) remain' Note that this centralization process cannot be relegated to the "phonetic" component: for, as Casali (1995) argues, the centralization process in turn conditions an unambiguously "phonological" process of rounding harmony.
		High vowels alternate, surfacing as [+round] when the following vowel is [+round] and the target vowel is non-front, by application of the centralization process: e.g.

	Talk:Sanskrit language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is to question the classification of the vowels 'e' and 'o' as diphthongs.
		And they are certainly categorized separately from the simple vowels in Sanskrit; (a) they're formed through Sandhi by combining a+i and a+u, and (b) they're separated in the traditional alphabetization, which is quite phonologically sophisticated, and differentiates the dipthongs from the simple vowels just as it organizes stops by place of pronunciation, etc. -- कुक्कुरोवाच
		The vowels in the syllables have a character of their own, which makes it sort of in between an alphabet and a syllabary.

		These descending endings coincide with the change of the vowel from high to the low point of articulation (for example, from [i] to [a] or [e] sound), similar to the structuring of vocal sounds on pan-pipes (see below, the section 4 on vocal sounds).
		Phonetically speaking, the vowel in the first syllable, whichever it is, belongs to the so-called high or middle positions (of a tongue), while the vowel in the second syllable uses the low position.
		This articulation-pitch correspondance in pan-pipe playing is the same as in the local singing tradition, in which the cadential unison sound of each stanza moves down simultaneously with the change of a vowel from [i, e] to [a] and the exhalation.

	Poems at the Poetry Free-for-all - The Sound of - um, well - Sound
		Vowel phonemes have the most variety, with an almost infinite subtle variation of sound occurring across dialects.
		Different vowel sounds have different length of time in being pronounced and a different openness of sound based on the shape of the mouth, and all mouths are shaped slightly differently.
		The reason these vowel sounds are slower to form and pronounce is simple - they are formed, at least partially, at the front of the mouth.

		If the predictable status of vowel nasalization in English is part of the linguistic competence (subconscious "knowledge of language") of a native speaker, then it must also be part of our phonological analysis of English -- since the goal of a phonological model is to represent the knowledge of a native speaker.
		A rising tone occurs when a high tone and a low tone are associated with the same vowel; a falling tone occurs when a low tone and a high tone are associated with the same vowel.
		We can model the associated-but-independent relationship between tones and vowels by including tones in our formal representations as objects that are separate from, but linked to, vowels (or perhaps syllables, but we won't pursue this idea further right now).

		The surface occurrence of high vowels and glides is alsopredicted by the internal organization of the lexicon, by factors such asthe degree of nativization of a word, its frequency of usage, and register.Constraints which refer to these factors are shown to block gliding, thusensuring that a surface distinction is maintained between native and non-nativewords.
		Both vowel and glide epenthesisare analyzed; parallels and contrasts between the nominal and verbal systemsin the language, including differences in epenthetic melodies and varyingenvironments for epenthesis, are argued to fall out from a single constrainthierarchy.
		The sixth chapter, Word-final Long Vowel Shortening, argues thatvowels in both suffixes and reduplicative prefixes shorten in certainenvironments so as to be properly incorporated into higher prosodic structure.Contrasts between consonant-final and vowel-final roots are argued to fallout from alignment constraints on the constituents of the root, prosodicword and syllable.

	Vocalizing Through Menopause: Regaining Lost Vocal Function
		The voice became strident and there was a tremendous amount of tension in the base of the tongue.

		The proprioceptive sensation due to this, reinforced by the amount of contact between the sides of the tongue and the upper molars, is available to all speakers and is probably necessary to achieve a precise articulatory gesture.
		The "height" of the articulatory location of a vowel is in an inverse relation to the frequency of its first formant.
		This would, of course, suit the high and low vowels arranged by the frequency of the second formant, according to which /i/ is "high", /u/ is "low".

		For something that adults perceive as a CV structure there doesn't need to be any coordination between a consonant gesture and a vowel gesture (if there is one).
		The consonant percept can result from an oral constriction and release (single action), and the percept of the vowel can result from the posture of the tongue during this constriction formation and release.
		However, the percept of a syllable with both initial and final Cs requires some coordination--e.g., the final C with respect to the initial one, or maybe both with respect to some vowel event.
