The vowel letter a makes the short vowel /? / sound, pronounced with the end of the tongue close to the lower teeth, the front of the tongue raised, and a low tongue position, the lowest of the four front vowels but the one with the largest opening, which is a short vowel but has a considerable length when actually pronounced, with the dental bed between half-open and open, and a non-rounded lip.
