Question

All vowels in English are generally:

• A. Unvoiced
• B. Voiced
• C. Semi-vowels
• D. Nasalized

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Voiced

In English, all vowels are generally voiced, meaning they are produced with vibration of the vocal cords.

• When you pronounce vowel sounds like /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, you can feel a vibration in your throat—this is your vocal cords working.

• Voiced sounds require the vocal cords to come together and vibrate as air passes through.
