Vowel sounds are the syllable core, the sound within the syllable
that resonates and can be lengthened or shortened.
A vowel can even constitute a syllable on a word.
Vowels are articulated with a relatively unobstructed airflow
Vowels are distinguished by tongue position
(front/central/back), tongue and jaw height (high/mid/low)
