6. A vowel is a sound such as the ones represented in writing by the letters `a', `e' `i', `o' and `u', which you pronounce with your mouth open, allowing the air to flow through it. Compare consonant. The vowel in words like `my' and `thigh' is not very difficult. Speech sound in which air from the lungs passes through the mouth with minimal obstruction and without audible friction, like the i in fit. The word also refers to a letter representing such a sound (a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y). In articulatory phonetics (see: articulation), vowels are classified by tongue and lip position; for example, high vowels like the i in machine and the u in flute are both pronounced with the tongue arched high in the mouth, but in u the lips are also rounded. Single vowel sounds are monophthongs; two vowel sounds pronounced as one syllable, like the ou in round, are diphthongs.
