You can listen to the Romanian language vowels ![]() There are many ways to classify vowels classification, varying with the desired goal. Some frequently used classifications are: 1. Opening degree of the oral cavity (the space between tongue and palate).
The Romanian language has no nasal vowels. Nevertheless, there is some nasalization of vowels in various dialect pronunciations (e.g. when after a vowel, in the same syllable, the n consonant follows, like in crâng, gând - grove, thought), or for expressiveness (e.g. the onomatopoeia pronunciation like in bang ). Note: The mentioned vowel and consonants classifications are informative. In natural speech, each sound can have different degrees of closing-opening, rounding etc. Often a middle variant appears, depending on the speaker and the general context.
