It's weird that Y was included as a vowel, but not W. Phonetically, they are a class of glides that behave similarly to vowels, so you'd expect both would be there.
@@Jagar_Tharn "y" sounds similar to "ee", and "w" sounds similar to "oo" at the onset of a word, both of which are vowels. Basically, if they're vowel sounding, but can appear part of the same syllable as an actual vowel, then they are semivowels. Glides "glide" into vowel sounds. An example is how "you" and "what" are one syllable, despite relatively sonorous sounds proceeding another sonorous sound. I hope my explanation made some bit of sense, but it's further clarified on Wikipedia in the article "Semivowel" if you're still confused. It's a fuzzy area in linguistics.
@@prim16 Can you give me an example of a word beginning with "w" that sounds like "oo" at the onset? word = "oord"? what = "oohat"? The rest of what you said is fine but I still see a clear distinction between "w" and "y" in this case.
@@Jagar_Tharn if you say a word that starts with "w", but hold on the w sound and extend it for a long time, you'll notice it's actually the same as saying "oooo." Same thing applies to y and 'ee' otoh, w is not usually used to represent a vowel sound in English (outside of, I guess, Welsh loanwords) whereas y is often used to represent the 'ih' or 'ee' sound, so there's a difference there. Though, I think in words starting with 'y' it's almost always a consonant
Well, if R is a pseudo-vowel, then M, N and L could also be considered pseudo-vowels. The easiest way to tell pseudo-vowels is first to look at glides (like Y and W), and then liquids or nasals that can be pronounced independently of another letter (as in "written" and "bottle"). An interesting way to deduce these letters is to look at American flapping (for example, how an American would pronounce "motto"). See, the "t" is pronounced as a flap between vowels. But this also occurs in contexts of glides (like in the word "writer"), and liquids (like in "bottle" or "party"). But the "t" will be pronounced in all other contexts (like in "connotation" or "winter").
You raise some good points there, although M N and L are definitely less vowelly than the prior examples. In fact, W and Y literally are actual vowels - they're just an u/oo sound and an i/ee sound said *very* quickly. Honestly I think we've delved into the territory where three broader labels are needed: I will use Vowels, Consonants and Draws. Vowels: a, e, i , o, u, w, y and all the various sounds produced by these letters Consonants: b, c, d, f, g, j, k, p, q, s, t, v, x, z and all the various sounds produced by these letters, sometimes using an h to indicate missing phonemes (ch, gh, sh, th) Draws: h, l, m, n, r and all the various sounds produced by these letters, sometimes attaching consonants to create missing phonemes (ng)
Oh yes, so phonetically, "w" and "y" are actually called glides (in IPA they are written as w and j), and they *are* vowels as you pointed out. But actually, their distinct feature is not that they are said quickly (at least in English), it's rather that they are not the *peak* of the syllable - another vowel occupies that (examples: yEsterday, yOUng, fjOrd (pronounced as "y"); counterexamples: syllabus (pronounced as "ih", because it has no accompanying vowel)). This is only information I know because I asked my Phonology professor, since I'm definitely not an expert like he is, he would certainly be a more reliable source :) Side note, I always found it annoying that we use "ch", "sh", "ng", and "th" to represent missing phonemes, as they are misleading, seem to appear as two distinct sounds, and disguises affricates. Do you know IPA? I find that as a very useful way of representing phones with no ambiguity. I like your system of dividing it into Vowels, Consonants and Draws. It certainly displays that the phonemes used there share characteristics of vowels, but should not be called one in their own right. Based on this, we can conclude that the maker should have at least included "y" and "w" sounds, since they are simply vowels not pronounced at their peak. (By the way, are you a Linguist or a student of Linguistics? It's exciting to have an intelligent conversation with someone who has this background)
As far as I, an autodidact layman am concerned, distinguishing between "being said quickly" and "not the peak of the syllable" is a pretty moot distinction, That said, I see exactly what you mean, and lucky you for having a phonology professor to consult, incidentally! Be sure to thank them for taking the time to weigh in on a UA-cam discussion. >I always found it annoying that we use "ch", "sh", "ng", and "th" to represent missing phonemes *Absolutely,* and I long for a day when we can just a version of English with letters for them. Especially th, what with it being two phonemes as such. I'd like to be able to use "dh" as the lettering for the th sound in the, though, thar and so on, in the interim. So "dhe man thought, dhough only briefly" would be how it's used. (I have an entire system worked out in fact, repurposing letters and reintroducing several old ones - but later) >By the way, are you a Linguist or a student of Linguistics? I'm very flattered by the suggestion - I have simply learnt about phonetics in my spare time. It's fun!
Eheh, no, actually I asked my Phonology professor a few weeks ago before an exam, because the area between glides and vowels was somewhat fuzzy for me. Fun fact though, the "y" sound actually varies from the "ee" sound in one articulatory sense (in English) - there is a slight raising of the tongue. Thus, in IPA, the glide [j] can actually be written as [i̝] (as opposed to just [i]). If you ever needed a Phonetic/Phonology question asked, I could definitely root your question to him - it's a very useful resource to have :) That's actually a very clever way to distinguish between the voiced and voiceless "th" sound, since the "d" is the voiced form of "t". However, we still would run into the problem of newcomers assuming that the number of letters represents the number of sounds, which is entirely wrong. (I'd be interested in learning your system! Especially if it utilizes only the 26 keyboard characters... since IPA characters can be impossible to pull without an Internet connection) Exciting to find a person at random who's interested in Phonetics/Phonology like me! I definitely share your interest in it, you've self-learned an impressive amount. I had/have to attend classes to get this far, aha.
