Vowels in Chamorro phrasebook
Chamorro has six distinct vowels.
They are: å, a, i, e, u, and o. Note that å isn't usually distinguished in written Chamorro. Therefore you can't tell the difference between båba 'bad' and baba' 'open'.
�
like English a in car (IPA /a/)
A�
like English a in cat (IPA /�/)
I�
like English ee in meet or i in pit.
E�
like English e in met or ee in meet or even i in pit.
U�
like English oo in tool or u in put.
O�
like English o in low or u in put.
All vowels are cardinal, like in Spanish, not like in English. The vowels I and E are similar because I sounds like 'ee' in meet when stressed, or 'i' in pit when unstressed. E sounds like 'e' in met when stressed, 'ee' in meet when unstressed or even 'i' in pit when unstressed.
U and O are similar because U sounds like 'oo' in tool when stressed, or 'u' in put when unstressed. O can sound like 'o' in low when stressed, or 'u' in put when unstressed.
