Vowel phoneme

From Teflpedia

A vowel phoneme is a phoneme that represents vowel sounds.

English accents vary significantly in their pronunciation of vowel phonemes. It’s therefore difficult to identify the vowel phoneme by a single name. The best approach seems to be to use a combination of vowel sets and traditional phonemes.
