Open Vowels

Lip positions
True or false?• English speakers use twelve pure vowels
• Vowels are differentiated from the consonants by their position of the tongue and the lips
• Lip positions for vowel production can be rounded and neutral
• While vowels are produced with the help of many organs, consonants depend only on the position of the tongue and the lips
• The position of the tongue and the lips allow for a great amount of variation enabling us to voice many more than the familiar five vowels.
• English has eight diphthongs
• Vowels can be produced by raising the tongue high, keeping it in the middle or low in the mouth
• Vowels can be produced alone and may be short or long
• Vowels are classified into close, mid and open vowels
