I think this section fits badly into the article. There are good articles already in WP about prosody and intonation. The most relevant bits of this section are about vowel length, and these would be worth keeping but under a heading "Vowel length" or "Vowel quantity". Most of the rest is (as the article points out) about syllables, not specifically vowels, and I think it should be removed. RoachPeter (talk) 08:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Vowel. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.abdn.ac.uk/langling/resources/Watt-Tillotson2001.pdf
• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090403083403/http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/ipachart_vowels_fbmp3.html to http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/ipachart_vowels_fbmp3.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

It would be so great to include a vowel chart with example words that had the vowel sounds, in addition to the chart that is there now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.220.247.81 (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
