  Vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

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 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).

 JASA88 The timbre of sung vowels
To accomplish this, each vowel sound was digitized (10 kHz sampling frequency); subsequently a single period with a fixed number of samples was segmented from the central part of the vowel, and this period was repeated to obtain a stimulus duration of 400 ms.
Table VI indicates that for most subsets more than half of the total variance in perceptual judgments is covered by the first dimension of the perceptual space.
For all subsets of stationary vowels, only sharpness turned out to be a verbal attribute of timbre on which most listeners, regardless of their degree of musical training, agreed in their judgments; they only differed in their evaluation of sharpness: whether sharpness was melodious or not.

Vowels are represented orthographically by five symbols /a e i o u/.
Vowels are lengthened in stressed open syllables (those that have no consonantal coda) 6 láki ‘grandfather’ [lá:.ki] … lakí ‘male’ [la.kí], bálo ‘new’ [bá:.lo] … baló ‘widow’ [ba.ló], naáwat ‘will receive’ [na’.á:.wat] … naawát ‘received’ [na’.a.wát].
After vowels, the first and second singular genitive enclitics ko and mo become suffixes —k, and —m, respectively, unless they are preceded by another enclitic: Ala-m ya-y belás (take-2sgen this-link rice) ‘Take this rice’, Kaaro mo ak (friend 2sgen 1stop) ‘I am your friend’.

 Sketch of Lakhota, Pt.I
Pure cardinal vowels are difficult for English speakers to produce because precisely these vowels begin in English with a "pure" vowel and end with a glide pronounced in the same general area.
Contracted vowels result from the conflation of syllables through the collapse of a syllable boundary or from the vocalization of consonantal elements followed by conflation with a preceding vowel.
Vowels that are the same and that have no intervening consonant, especially /ii/, are frequently pronounced as a series of rearticulated vowels.

 Surface Phonological Structure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
He transcribes the long-mid vowels in a way close to the phonetic surface (for stressed vowels), namely as /ie, uo/ (rather than /ee, oo/, or /e:, o:/ for example, as per Wells), which are high vowels with downward glides (that is, inglides).
The long vowels, both mid and high, are phonetically raised and shifted to the periphery relative to the corresponding short vowels.
The back vowels may be arranged in a scale from high to low according to the mean F2 for stressed tokens of the vowel, thus: /uu, uo, ou, o, aa/.

 3GL Step-Form Algorithm Sample3
One way to simplify the trace table is to split it up on the basis of the loops that are in the table.
We can build three trace tables, one for each loop and one main table, or, we could build two tables, one main table containing the outer main paging loop and a separate table for the inner counting loop.
Although trace tables are a very useful tool for testing algorithms you have probably already realised that the tables can get quite large and cumbersome.

 Close_vowel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A close vowel is a type of vowel sound used in many spoken languages.
The defining characteristic of a close vowel is that the tongue is positioned as close as possible to the roof of the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
Close vowels are often referred to as high vowels because the tongue is positioned high in the mouth during the articulation of a close vowel.

 Chekt Speling in Two Charts
For the vowels, the most insightful table is a 4 column table with 6 checked vowels, 6 free vowels (extended), 6 combined vowels, and 6 combinations with r (or schwa).
Any vowel that cannot occur at the end of a word is referred to as a chekt vowel.
By ignoring the schwa and combining [o.] and [a:], the vowel list can be reduced to less than l8 and the total number of phonemes to 40.

 The Long Vowels.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The usual rendition of these, in World English Spelling (Dewey 1970: 90), the SSS proposals, and Simplified American Spelling (Rondthaler n Lias, 1986: 1), is an "across the board" rule to add "e" to the short vowel.
While the alternate "vyu, fyu" spellings eliminate one rule and spelling, this counters the "y before a vowel is a consonant" rule.
Include, for all long vowels, rules that the "vowel at the end of a word or syllable is pronounst long"'.

The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. The letter Y is a vowel, in Arithmancy, when it sounds like E, as in the name Mary or Harry.
It is not a vowel in the name, May. Y is also a vowel when it is the only vowel in the syllable, such as in WYNN.
W is a vowel when it follows D or G (Dwight or Gwen) because it carries the vowel sound.

 Standard Lithuanian and its Dialects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This hook (nósinė) under the letter shows that originally the vowel was followed by an -n, then became a nasal vowel and finally the vowel was lengthened and the nasal pronunciation was lost completely.
In general the vowels of the Lithuanian dialects differ more than the consonants so the determination of dialects depends on the pronunciation of the vowels.
Suppose that one chooses a certain area in which the vowels are pronounced in a certain way as the basis of one's classification.

It stands for the vowel that is the furthest back and the lowest possible vowel in the vowel space (the vowel with the highest F1 and the closest F2 to F1).

 Unstressed vowels
A common mistake is to transcribe full vowels for English unstressed syllables.
Even if a speaker does have two clouds for their unstressed vowels, the grounds for identifying the higher cloud with the vowel of hit are no stronger than the grounds for identifying the lower cloud with the vowel of cup.)
Note: On some occasions, the two vowels of enough can be pronounced extremely similarly, especially when the word is being pronounced with unnatural slowness or carefulness or with more emphasis on the first syllable than it gets in normal speech.

This scheme is a proposition to transliterate Indian Language words into roman text in such a way that the people of other languages also would be able to pronunce (/produce) the same way.
In these pages as much as possible the transliteration table corresponding to the original language of the word/context is followed (i.e.
Sanskrit transliteration table for Sanskrit words, Tamil table for Tamil words.....), but quite often this rule is broken for convenience (!).

 Full Tengwar Modes for Modern English
The use of diacritics for non-vowel functions, such as indicating a preceding homorganic nasal or the doubling of consonants, or the "s-curls" attached to tengwar, does not serve as a distinction between tehta- and full modes.
The full table shows the usage for each particular mode, including all tengwar employed, noting also the occurrence of underposed dot for schwa, superposed double dots for -y and tilde for -w, abbreviations with extended telcor for the, of, of the, s-curls and other peculiar uses.
There is considerable variation in the attribution of tengwar to vowels; thus, for instance, the tengwa anna has variously stood for a, o and the first vowel in butter.
