Max. Marks: 100

                  2.    Describe the vowels of English. Give example for each vowel.

Vowels are speech sounds pronounced so there are no “obstacles” to airstream (unlike the way consonants are pronounced, for example). This post lists English vowels (21 in this case, although some sources list 22), both monophthongs and diphthongs. They are grouped into the long and short ones. There is also a vowel diagram showing vowels at their approximate positions.

The vowels sounds of the English language are listed below. The newer IPA notation was used.
