This video shows the differences in the length of vowels. The video shows a Welsh speaker producing the words ‘dal’, ‘tal’, and ‘del’ (which have short vowels) and then the word ‘tâl’ which has a long vowel.
When the speaker says the vowel in ‘tâl’, the lips are apart for longer and it takes longer for the tongue to reach a resting position.
So, how does it all work?
