−	'''Height''' is a vocalic feature that refers to the vertical position of the tongue body, specifically its distance from the roof of the mouth. There are three levels of ~~this feature~~: high, low, and mid. ~~<nowiki>~~[i, ɪ, ʊ, u]~~</nowiki>~~ are ~~the~~ high vowels ~~of English. <nowiki>~~ [e, ɛ, ɔ, o, ʌ, ə]~~</nowiki>~~ are ~~the~~ mid vowels ~~of English~~, ~~and <nowiki>~~[æ, ɑ]~~</nowiki>~~ are ~~the low vowels of American English (other dialects have other~~ low vowels).	+	'''Height''' is a vocalic feature that refers to the vertical position of the tongue body, specifically its distance from the roof of the mouth. There are three levels of height: high, low, and mid. Height references the placement of the articulators necessary in the production of certain sounds; for vowels, this can be difficult. Nevertheless, height is used to distinguish between natural classes of vowel and in tandem with ''frontness'' and ''backness'' describes a wide range of the vocalic continuum.
		+
		+	In English:
		+	* [i, ɪ, ʊ, u] are high vowels,
		+	* [e, ɛ, ɔ, o, ʌ, ə] are mid vowels,
		+	* [æ, ɑ] are low vowels.
