| | Ling 60 Writing rules |
 | | The problem is that "high vowels or low vowels, but not mid vowels" (the environment for the rule according to Hypothesis B) is not a natural class. | | | There are no vowels anywhere in the data set that would be exceptions to Generalization #2, so by the standard criterion of generality, we want to make our description of the phenomenon apply to the language as a whole, not specifically to the neuter and applied suffixes. | | | There are examples in the data set that show that a low vowel remains unchanged even when it follows a mid vowel. |

| | Articles - Vowel |
| | The features of vowel prosody are usually considered not to apply to the vowel itself, but to the syllable, as some languages do not contrast vowel length separately from syllable length. | | | In high vowels, such as [i] and [u], the tongue is positioned high in the mouth, whereas in low vowels, such as [a], the tongue is positioned low in the mouth. | | | The greatest degree of pharyngealisation is found in the strident vowels of the Khoisan languages, where the larynx is raised, and the pharynx constricted, so that either the epiglottis or the arytenoid cartilages vibrate instead of the vocal chords. |

| | The vowel which may appear as [e] is an allophonic form of the diphthong [ai]. | | | This shows an asymmetric paradigm with a gap lacking mid front vowel [e]. | | | However, only [ai], seems to reduce its vowel quality into [e]. |

| | Abstract |
| | In Czecho-Slovak and South Slavic, though, high vowels did not change to mid in time for this to occur. | | | (Northern art reflexes are split not on the basis of "intonation," as commonly stated, but vowel quantity.) North Slavic (including Czech) demonstrates the original inherited quantity in anlaut position and the fact that the r never became moraic in this anlaut environment, in contrast to inlaut tart, where it did. | | | A short o would have given modern /u/ only in pre-jer position, yet here we have /u/ in all environments. |

| | LINGUIST List 9.899: Schwa in Romance |
| | Vowels in absolute word final position are quite resistant to the process of interest, i.e., they do not become schwa too easily. | | | My particular concern is whether unstressed /a/ is more prone to reduce to schwa than unstressed /e/; in other words, in languages/dialects where both /e/ and /a/ reduce to schwa in unstressed position, the prediction could be that /a/ will reduce in the first place. | | | A first issue of interest is whether those languages/dialects do allow schwa to occur in unstressed position as well. |

| | Lojban Reference Grammar: Chapter 3 |
| | In general, whether a complex sound is considered one sound or two depends on the language: Russian views “ts” as a single sound, whereas English, French, and Lojban consider it to be a consonant cluster. | | | In Lojban, as much as possible, the sound of a consonant is unrelated to its position. | | | Lojban, like Quenya, is a vowel-last language, so tehtar are read as following the tengwar on which they are placed. |

| | close vowel: Information From Answers.com |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | That is, close-mid vowels, near-close vowels, and close vowels can all be considered high vowels. |
