A vowel is a speech sound produced without occluding, diverting, or obstructing the flow of air from the lungs.
The English vowels are:
A
E
I
O
U
Sometimes Y

is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by an open configuration of the vocal tract so that there is no build-up of air pressure above the glottis.
This contrasts with consonants, which are characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract. A vowel is also understood to be syllabic: an equivalent open but non-syllabic sound is called a semivowel.

A speech sound made with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction, more open than a consonant and capable of forming a syllable.
