used for speech include the

the production of the majority

sounds:
The learners have to remember four main lip positions in the
production of English sounds:
(a) spread, the most typical lip position in the production of
English sounds, e.g.: see, meat, sit, set, where lips are slightly
spread and pinned to the revealed lower and upper teeth;
(b) neutral (open), i.e. the lips are neither spread nor
protruded, though the opening between the teeth is a bit wider
than in the spread lip position, e.g.: frog;
(c) rounded (open) as, for instance, in the production of the
phoneme // lips are rounded but they are not protruded, the
bulk of the tongue being in its lowest position, e.g.: cat, sat,
apple, or the bulk of the tongue is at the back of the mouth
cavity as in the production of /:/ though somewhat advanced;
(d) rounded (close), i.e. the lips are rounded but not protruded,
c)
a) look.
b)
d)
e.g.: moon,
