    There are 44 oral sounds in the English language. Voiced sounds are produced when the vocal cords vibrate as air passes through as the cords are drawn together and apart. The word "metre" is considered ambisllabic as it can be divided into two syllables. Diacritics are marks added to phonetic symbols to provide more information. An open syllable lacks a coda at the end. The hard palate is known as the "root of the mouth".
