In phonetics, a vowel is a sound in spoken language, with two complementary definitions. In the phonetic definition, a vowel is a sound pronounced with an open vocal tract, so that the tongue does not touch the lips, teeth, or roof of the mouth, such as the English ah /ÉË/ or oh /oÊ/. There is no build-up of air pressure at any point above the glottis.
Strictly speaking, we can never see vowels, so that W sitting there on the page is not a vowel and neither is this A. We can only hear vowels. Vowels are sounds. Loosely speaking, the vowel letters A, E, I, O, and U are often called vowels. Y and W may or may not be included among the vowels, depending on the teaching method. The typical sound we make (in English) when we see the letter W is called either a semi-vowel, a semi-consonant, or a glide.
