01.01.2022 When speaking English, the sounds we make to form words are a combination of vowels, consonants, and diphthongs, which are two short vowels joined together. Importantly, all vowels and diphthongs are VOICED, which means they are produced using our voice box (larynx) in our throats. In contrast, some consonants are voiced and some are UNVOICED, which means their sound is made using only the flow of air from our lungs and out our mouths or noses.
