[edit] Bullshit alert
"In the English language, there are 33 Vowel sounds." Rubbish. You can't count the number of vowel sounds in a language; first, because different dialects have different numbers; second, because each vowel may have an indefinite number of minute variations. What you can count is the number of vowel phonemes. The variety of British English that I speak has 21 vowel phonemes. All American English varieties have considerably fewer, some as few as ten. No variety at all, British, American or any other, has more than 25, let alone 33. 91.105.8.168 (talk) 00:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well you can count vowel sounds, but most people specify which variety of English they are counting, in Received Pronunciation there are 20 vowel sounds, but the IPA only has 28 vowel sounds and that covers all languages and their variants so where are the others coming from? lɘɘяɘM яɘɫƨɐƮ 09:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
