Vowel Tongue Positions Chart - Articulatory Phonetics Guide #3706554 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram illustrates six key English vowel articulations using side-profile head silhouettes, with the tongue highlighted in red to indicate position relative to the palate. Each vowel (/ɪ/, /ɛ/, /æ/, /ɑ/, /ɔ/, /ʊ/) is labeled beneath its corresponding illustration, demonstrating variations in tongue height (high, mid, low) and frontness/backness. Designed for clarity, the images support phonetic learning in classrooms, speech pathology, and language acquisition contexts.

Used in linguistics textbooks, speech therapy materials, ESL/EFL curricula, and online phonetics resources to teach articulatory phonetics; targets students, clinicians, teachers, and language learners seeking visual reinforcement of vowel production mechanics.
