Letters are divided into vowels and consonants. - A vowel is an articulate sound, that can be perfectly uttered by itself; as a, ey 0; which are formed without the help of any other sound. A consonant is an articulate sound; which cannot be perfectly uttered without the help of à vowel; as b, d, f, l, which require vowels to : express them fully. The vowels are, a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w, and y. W and y are consonants when they begin a word, oř syllable; but in every other situation. they are vowels. ver brist i O sounds hard like k before a 0, U, I, and ryy and soft like is before e, i, and y. It sounds like z in sacrifice, and like sh in ocean. G sounds hard before a, o, u, l, and ris It is sometimes hard and sometimes soft before e, i, and y. w 1:94 143 113 Diphthongs and Triphthongsu , “A diphthong is the union of two vowels, pronounced by a single impulse of the voice; as ea in beat, ou in sound. 02 A proper diphthong is that in which both the vowels are sounded; as bi in voide, ou in ounce. An improper diphthong has but one of the vowels sounded; as, ea in eagle, oa in boat. A triphthong is the union of three vowels, pronounced by a single impulse of the voice; as eau in beau, jew in view.
