Linguistics
- Linguistics is the scientific study of the nature, structure, and variation of language.
Phonemes

- There are 5 vowels in English: A, E, I, O, and U.
Sounds
- Consonants are produced with more obstruction of airflow through the vocal tract than vowels.
- Vowels are produced with less obstruction of airflow through the vocal tract than consonants.
- Sounds that require vibration in the vocal folds are voiced sounds.
