Cardinal vowels: Description, Limits on the accuracy of the system & Overview

Cardinal vowels (sometimes abbreviated as CVs) are a set of reference vowels used by phoneticians in describing the sounds of languages. They are classified depending on the position of the tongue relative to the roof of the mouth, how far forward or back is the highest point of the tongue, and the position of the lips (rounded or unrounded).
