12 states start with a vowel: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Utah. A vowel is any letter that is not a consonant!! A,E,I,O,U are all the vowels sometimes Y is considered a vowel.
When a syllable has 2 vowels together, the first vowel is usually long and the second is silent. Examples: pain, eat, boat, res/cue, say, grow. NOTE: Diphthongs don't follow this rule; In a diphthong, the vowels blend together to create a single new sound. The diphthongs are: oi,oy,ou,ow,au,aw, oo and many others.
