I have the notion that nuances in phrasing play the role in our language which nuances in words play in yours, but it&amp;#39;s only a notion. I could not begin to do the subject justice, but there are many members of EF who could.

But I think that would be a diversion, and not a practical solution. If this be your chosen work, I wish you Godspeed. For centuries, people have found the most effective and efficient way to perfect their production of language sounds is by imitation. Still not knowing what your objective is, I repeat this recommendation to you. Yes, I certainly agree with you that a single letter can be involved in conveying many different meanings.

English has 5 vowel letters (a, e, i o, u). Sometimes Y is a vowel letter.  The English language has about 43 different sounds and, depending on who you ask, about 19 different vowel sounds.  We use our mouth, nose, throat and vocal cords to make these sounds.  We spell these sounds in different ways.(there are historical reasons for this).  The study of this topic is called &amp;quot;phonics&amp;quot;. There are many textbooks on phonics.</description></item><item><title>Re: who knows the precise meaning of eight vowels in the mouth location?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhoPreciseMeaningEightVowelsMouth-Location/hrpjd/post.htm#589424</link><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:14:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:589424</guid><dc:creator>Avangi</dc:creator><slash:comments>13</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhoPreciseMeaningEightVowelsMouth-Location/hrpjd/post.htm#589424</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-589424.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi busido, It&amp;#39;s very difficult to describe the exact formations of the mouth used to produce these exact vowel sounds in a way that would be accurate enough to assure success. We usually learn to pronounce examples such as you have offered, and then use those as models for other words with the same vowel sounds. Perhaps you have another purpose in acquiring this information. But if your purpose is simply to pronounce the sounds correctly, there are audios available. One site was recently recommended to us, which I thought was quite good. Something like HowSay. Excuse me while I look it up.    http://www.howjsay.com/     You can type your samples into the box and hear them clearly pronounced.
