They are normally voiced. • Vowels can be classified according to three variables: a. Tongue height. b. Part of the tongue which is raised c. Degree of lip rounding 2 3 According to tongue height • According to the height to which the tongue is raised we have: 1. High vowels: are those in the production of which the tongue is high in the mouth. It is raised above its rest position. .: Low vowels: are those made with the tongue below its rest position. .: Mid vowels: are those made with the tongue neither high nor low in the mouth. .: 4 2. 3.
