| | Language School Explorer - Information about 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. |

| | Students are also asked to tell whether the vowel is at the beginning, middle, or end; since all but up have the vowel in the middle, the design of this exercise is similarly flawed. | | | Where Open Court demonstrates clear superiority in the teaching of phoneme awareness and phonics, my analysis suggests it stands as an equal to other programs in instruction in fluency and in comprehension strategies. | | | In short, I find that of the programs I've reviewed, Open Court offers the best basal reading series for learning to read given a typical population of elementary school children, and it is the equal of other leading programs in developing fluency and reading comprehension. |

| | The consonant we are looking for has, just like the vowel, to be 'universal' in that it exists in all languages (or in as many languages as possible) and in that it can appear at any place in the morphemes of those languages. | | | Now, when considering (human) languages in general again, it does not matter whether the ä and the schwa are described as neutral or as central vowels. | | | Yet, unlike the ä, many languages do not have the schwa as a phoneme, and therefore the schwa (or its stressed equivalent) is not to be considered a universal vowel. |
