vowel

French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, German, and many others use the same letter i and have more vowel sounds than vowel characters.

According to Wikipedia, seems like everyday English could get by with around 20 vowel and 24 consonant symbols.

The Great Vowel Shift - a fabulous part of history, and essential for fully appreciating Shakespeare.

* ll + vowel and Y + vowel sound he same.

RAlt+y = ü, RAlt+q = ä, RAlt+p = ö, RAlt+s = ß and more (using RAlt+vowel gives you the accented variant).

The interviewee (the vowel count makes me dizzy) can choose what he/she prefers.

Except it doesn't quite work for me because the vowel sounds don't match.

The possible vowel deficient start-up names for this alone are amusing me greatly.

* H is always mute!, except for ch + vowel which always sounds like in chocolate.

For any given particle, Japanese invariably has one form, Korean one or two (some change if the word ends in a consonant), and Turkish usually two (vowel harmony).

You can just read one input character C at a time and either write CoC to the output (if a consonant) or copy C to the output (if any other character: vowel, white-space, punctuation, etc.).

Can't imagine typing even a paragraph while having to pause, even for a second, on every accented character (mind you, in some languages such as greek, almost every word has an accented vowel, sometimes two).

The vowel ʌ is described as "between pearl and pull, with spread lips"

The "starts with a vowel" rule is about pronunciation.

Pronounce it as a vowel-less word i.e.: "skwll"

In the word "Berenstain", the first two vowels are e's, and I think the brain naturally expects the next vowel to be an e as well.
