VOWELS QUADRILATERAL

The quadrilateral represents the tongue position on two axes: frontness and height. Emojis represent roundness and openness of each sound. Semi-colon (:) represents long vowels.

Emojis were inspired by the most magnificent trinity of professors of the Philological Department of LMSU: I.M. Maguidova, S.V. Decheva and M.Y. Prokhorova.
