High Vowels

High vowels (or close vowels) are vowels that are pronounced with the jaw dropped just a little bit and the tongue raised as high as it can be without blocking the air or creating friction. High vowels are more sonorous than consonants but less sonorous than other vowels, and they commonly have non-syllabic counterparts called semivowels.
