 A vowel is a sound  pronounced with an open vocal tract so that there is no build-up of air pressure at any point above the glottis.

This contrasts with consonants, where there is a constriction or closure at some point along the vocal tract.

A vowel is also understood to be syllabic: an equivalent open but non-syllabic sound is called a semivowel.

Vowels can be

Single Sounds – Monophthongs Double sounds – Diphthongs Triple sounds - Triphthongs

(Frictionless Sounds)

(A) Monopthongs:-These sounds are known as

“PURE VOWELS.”There are 12 monopthongs:-

FRONT CENTER BACK

/i:/ /ʒ:/ /ʊ/

/I/ /ə/ /ʊ:/

/e/ /ʌ/ /ɔ:/

/Iə/Fear

/aI/Night

/eI/Rate

/ɔI/Toy

/ʊə/Poor
