The A E I O U Vowel Song

naw not like r
flaw makes the a not long or short but special
car is short

Coolio · 2014-08-19 20:17:41

I mean, it kinda goes both ways. I could make flaw end short, and draw out car. The a in 'ar' isn't long or short either.

Fradeshan · 2014-08-19 20:27:28

ay = long
ah = short
it's not length

N1KF · 2014-08-19 20:30:41

Most accents I have heard pronounce "car" differently than "cah."

Fradeshan · 2014-08-19 20:56:40

i think this was in kindergarten
i meant the vowel

in car the a is pronounced ah - cahr not cayr
in bake the a is pronounced ay - bayke not bahke

I'm still not quite getting why ar is short while aw is long.

Fradeshan · 2014-08-19 23:16:53

aw isn't
does the a in aw sound like the a in cake

Coolio · 2014-08-20 09:02:35

Oops. I meant ay.

Do you mean the thing with ǎ vs ā? In that case, ah isn't ǎ.

Fradeshan · 2014-08-20 12:29:02

Short a (ă) sound as in at, taxi, anniversary, laboratory, and tackle

Traditional long and short vowels in English orthography
English vowels are sometimes split into "long" and "short" vowels along lines different from the linguistic differentiation. Traditionally, the vowels /eɪ iː aɪ oʊ juː/ (as in bait beet bite boat beauty) are said to be the "long" counterparts of the vowels /æ ɛ ɪ ɒ ʌ/ (as in bat bet bit bot but) which are said to be "short". This terminology reflects their pronunciation before the Great Vowel Shift.
Traditional English phonics teaching, at the preschool to first grade level, often used the term "long vowel" for any pronunciation that might result from the addition of a silent E (e.g., like) or other vowel letter

short is ah (æ)

Coolio · 2014-08-20 13:05:45

'ah' is not æ, at least not in the way that car is. Car is the ɑː sound.

Fradeshan · 2014-08-20 13:14:14

ok car's not short
æ is in have

Coolio · 2014-08-20 14:38:30

What were we talking about again?
Oh right, aw vs ar.

So yeah, both are neither long nor short, aw being ɔː and ar making ɑː, while long and short a's are eɪ and æ.
