Open Consotant and vowel block
The IPA defines a vowel as a sound which occurs at a syllable center.[1] Below is a chart depicting the vowels of the IPA. The IPA maps the vowels according to the position of the tongue. Template:IPA vowels
The vertical axis of the chart is mapped by vowel height. Vowels pronounced with the tongue lowered are at the bottom, and vowels pronounced with the tongue raised are at the top. For example, [ɑ] (the first vowel in father) is at the bottom because the tongue is lowered in this position. [i] (the vowel in "meet") is at the top because the sound is said with the tongue raised to the roof of the mouth.
In a similar fashion, the horizontal axis of the chart is determined by vowel backness. Vowels with the tongue moved towards the front of the mouth (such as [ɛ], the vowel in "met") are to the left in the chart, while those in which it is moved to the back (such as [ʌ], the vowel in "but") are placed to the right in the chart.
In places where vowels are paired, the right represents a rounded vowel (in which the lips are rounded) while the left is its unrounded counterpart.

Diphthongs
Diphthongs are typically specified with a non-syllabic diacritic, as in Template:Angbr IPA or Template:Angbr IPA, or with a superscript for the on- or off-glide, as in Template:Angbr IPA or Template:Angbr IPA. Sometimes a tie bar is used, especially if it is difficult to tell if the diphthong is characterized by an on-glide, an off-glide or is variable: Template:Angbr IPA.
