Introduction to Vowels /i/ and /i: /
The vowels /i/ and /i: / are monophthongs. Monophthongs are single vowel sounds. They are used in contrast with the word diphthong, which literally means a “double sound” in Ancient Greek. Another term for monophthong is pure vowel.
Description of the Vowel /i:/
This is a long, front, close, spread vowel sound. It is produced by keeping the front of the tongue for some time at a height very close to the hard palate and at the same time keeping the lips loosely spread.
Features of Vowel /i:/
The phonetic symbol of the sound represents the sound of the following underlined letters in their respective words.
