元音
Also known as vowel sound, vocal sound
A vowel () is a speech sound pronounced without any in the vocal tract. Vowels are one of the two principal classes of speech sounds, the other being the consonant. Vowels vary in quality, loudness, and length. They are usually voiced and are closely involved in prosodic variation such as tone, intonation and stress. The nucleus, or "center", of a syllable typically consists of a vowel sound (though this is not always the case).
AI overview
A vowel is a speech sound made without any obstruction in the vocal tract, and it forms one of the two main categories of speech sounds along with consonants. Vowels are important because they typically form the core of syllables and help create the rhythm, pitch, and stress patterns of spoken language.

母音，或称元音，是音素的一种，与子音（或稱子音）相对。元音是在发音过程中由气流通过口腔而不受阻碍发出的音。发元音时，气流从肺部通过声门冲击声带，使声带发出均匀震动，然后震音气流不受阻碍地通过口腔、鼻腔，通过舌、唇的调节而发出不同的声音。发元音时声带必然震动，这叫做浊音。也有的语言发元音时声带不振动，发出清元音（voiceless vowel）。元音并非在所有的语言中都与元音字母一一对应，一些元音字母的组合也可以表示特殊的元音，比如汉语中的某些複韵母；某些语言中一些元音字母在某些情况下不发音，如法语中元音字母“e”在词末。 元音分兩大類：舌面元音和。大多數元音都是舌面元音，如國際音標的[a]、[e]、[i]、[o]、[u]等等，而漢語很多方言中有一類在其它語言中很少見的舌尖元音，發音時舌尖緊張，包括平舌音（或者稱舌尖前音）如漢語拼音zi、ci、si的韻母，和翹舌音（或者稱捲舌音、舌尖後音）如漢語拼音zhi、chi、shi、ri的韻母。在元音四角圖中，橫軸代表是元音舌位，縱軸代表的是元音高度。
