    English vowels

     English vowels :-

    1.     In English there are five vowel letters in the alphabet. These letters are vowels in English: A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y and W. It is said that Y is "sometimes" a vowel, because the letter Y represents both vowel and consonant sounds.

     

     

           where does the word vowel come from?

     

           2. The word vowel ultimately comes from the Latin vox, meaning (voice.) It’s the source of voice and such words as vocal and vociferate.

    Consonant literally means “with sound,” from the Latin con- (“with”) and sonar’e (“to sound”). This verb yields, that’s right, the word sound and many others, like sonic and resonant.

     

    2.     ( Now, try to sing just a B sound, K sound, or th sound? You can’t, really. Properly holding out a B sounds like you’re imitating a trumpet.

    3.    Grinding out a K sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Th, prolonged, has more a pleasant, wind-in-the grass feel.

    4.    But, if you’re singing Baah! or Kee! or Thy!, you’re starting off with a consonant but sustaining it with a vowel—because you need airflow, you need breath, to do so, and consonants are all about obstructing it in some way.)
