L3 - Ey

L3 - Ey
To produce the /ey/ sound, the tongue is bunched forward and high. The tip of the
tongue is above and slightly behind the lower front teeth. Lips and teeth are wide apart as
in smile before it begins to close a little as the air stream moves through the mouth. At the
same time, the tongue moves forward and lower in the mouth.
The vowel sound is diphthong which means it has two vowel sounds but is
pronounced as one syllable. The first vowel sound is more stressed than the second
vowel. The sounds begin with /e/ gliding to /I/. the sound is more extended in the final
position as in tray. It is shorter before a voiceless consonant as in waif.
