### Vowel System in Indian English

The vowel system in Indian English consists of both pure vowels and diphthongs. Pure vowels are single, unchanging sounds that are produced by relatively stable tongue positions. In total, Indian English has 11 pure vowels, which correspond closely to the typical vowel inventory found in many varieties of Indian languages. This system allows for a broad spectrum of sounds that accommodate the phonetic nuances of different regional languages across India. The 11 pure vowels of Indian English can be classified into short vowels, long vowels, and close vowels.
