Prosody and intonation[edit]

I think this section fits badly into the article. There are good articles already in WP about prosody and intonation. The most relevant bits of this section are about vowel length, and these would be worth keeping but under a heading "Vowel length" or "Vowel quantity". Most of the rest is (as the article points out) about syllables, not specifically vowels, and I think it should be removed. RoachPeter (talk) 08:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EXAMPLES[edit]

It would be so great to include a vowel chart with example words that had the vowel sounds, in addition to the chart that is there now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.220.247.81 (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
