Answer 1

Answer:

A. Daniel Jones

• The cardinal vowel system was developed and systematized by Daniel Jones, a pioneering British phonetician.

• The system provides a set of reference vowels that help phoneticians describe and classify vowel sounds in all languages, based on tongue position and lip rounding.

• These vowels are not tied to any particular language; they serve as standard points of comparison.
