	Vowel Theories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Vowels were assumed to be spaced at auditorily equal intervals of tongue position.
		Vowels are dispersed in the phonetic space (tongue position, rounding) in such a way as to maximize auditory differences among the vowels.
		When phoneticians listen to a audio recording of a vowel in an unknown language that is not found on the primary cardinal vowel "slice", they may not be able to tell whether the the vowel is a front rounded or a back unrounded vowel--they cannot separate position in the space from rounding.

		On the other hand, the a vowel could not be much more close than the “standard” close vowels (first degree of aperture) and still be vocalic, rather than some kind of spirant or fricative consonant, depending on the degree of muscular tension.

		This sound is also produced by articulating a very close unrounded front "vowel" (a close [i]), but the realization is extremely brief.

		The modern lowercase letter a derives from Greek handwriting, which evolved from a form similar to the current capital to a circular shape with a projection by the 4th century.
		In most other languages that use the Latin alphabet, the letter a denotes either a open central unrounded vowel (IPA /a/), or an open back unrounded vowel (IPA /ɑ/).
		The use of these letters is generally derived from the vowels of the two Latin verbs affirmo (or AIo), "I assert", and nego, "I deny".

		When followed by a vowel or voiced consonant, however (in a suffix or a following word of the same phrase), they are pronounced as voiced.
		Unless marked otherwise, a single consonant between vowels belongs to the following syllable, and a pair of consonants between vowels is divided between the two consonants (ri-sheig, snis-ka).
		(Exceptions to this rule are found in compounds and borrowed words.) Vowels in an open syllable (a syllable ending in a vowel) are pronounced somewhat longer than vowels in a closed syllable (ending in a consonant).

	Close_vowel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		In the context of the phonetics of any particular language, a high vowel can be any vowel that is more close than a mid vowel.

		Non-high vowels in non-initial syllables are unrounded and harmonize with the vowel of the preceding syllable in backness.
		The lower rounded vowels are dispreferred cross-linguistically, probably due to the greater articulatory difficulty of rounding when there is a lower jaw position.
		Violated when the vowel that is in the initial syllable in the surface representation differs from its underlying correspondent in rounding.

		Phonologically, most languages don't make a difference between front and back low vowels -- whether their single low vowel [a] should be treated as front or central or back is not a pressing question.
		As suggested by the layout of the IPA chart, back unrounded vowels will tend to be somewhat more central than rounded ones, both acoustically and articulatorily.
		The cardinal vowel system hinges on the four corners of the vowel space, and the cardinal vowels are arranged around the well-defined edges.

		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).
		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.
		Diphthongs are vowel sounds that smoothly glide from one vowel to another.

		The vowel in the word seen is a high front unrounded vowel [i] in that the front part of the tongue is raised and the lips are unrounded as we articulate the vowel.
		Now, as far as the tense vs. lax distinction, it is important to note that actually these terms are “cover terms” that refer to a number of phonetic properties, including height, duration and diphthongization.
		The one in seen is tense: it is produced by slightly higher tongue position; it is longer in duration; and it is diphthongized (i.e., a vowel followed by a glide – either [y] or [w]).

		O is most commonly associated with the close-mid back rounded vowel {{IPAoʊ}}.
		In English language English, though, O has a short value which maps to Open back rounded vowel {{IPAɒ}} (Open back unrounded vowel {{IPAɑ}} in parts of North America), while the long value tends to a diphthong of Close-mid back rounded vowel {{IPA/o/}} and Near-close near-back rounded vowel {{IPAʊ}}.
		Common digraphs include OO (inconsistently with the sound Near-close near-back rounded vowel {{IPAʊ}} or Close back rounded vowel {{IPA/u/}}), OI (usually a diphthong of Open-mid back rounded vowel {{IPAɔ}} and Close front unrounded vowel {{IPAɪ}}), as well as OA, OE, and OU with a variety of pronunciations depending on context.
