English Hebrew distinguishes between all of the Tiberian Hebrew vowels.

~~(TODO: Which allophones to use~~ open~~/closed/stressed/unstressed)~~

Like in Tiberian Hebrew, English Hebrew has tense-lax alternation, depending on whether the syllable is open or not.

*patach = chataf patach = tense PALM /ɑː/ in open OR stressed syllables / lax TRAP /a~æ/ in closed unstressed syllables. Usually transcribed ''a''.

*segol = chataf segol = DRESS /ɛ/. Usually transcribed ''e''.

Line 69:

*qamatz = chataf qamatz = tense THOUGHT /ɔː/ in open OR stressed syllables / lax LOT /ɔ/ in closed unstressed syllables. Usually transcribed ''o'', ''oh'' or ''au''.

*cholam = GOAT /əʊ~əʏ/. Usually transcribed ''uo''.

*chiriq = FLEECE /i:~ɪj/ in stressed or open syllables / KIT /ɪ/ in unstressed closed syllables. Usually transcribed ''i'' or ''ê''. Some people use ''-ih'' for final unstressed /i/: אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי /ʔaˈniː ʔɔˈmaɾtiː bəχɔfˈziː/ ''anê ohmarrtih bkhofzê'' 'I said in my haste'.

*chiriq = tense FLEECE /i:~ɪj/ in stressed or open syllables / lax KIT /ɪ/ in unstressed closed syllables. Usually transcribed ''i'' or ''ê''. Some people use ''-ih'' for final unstressed /i/: אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי /ʔaˈniː ʔɔˈmaɾtiː bəχɔfˈziː/ ''anê ohmarrtih bkhofzê'' 'I said in my haste'.

*qubbutz / shuruq = GOOSE /ü:/ in stressed or open syllables / FOOT /ɵ~ʊ̈/ in unstressed closed syllables. Usually transcribed ''u'' or ''ô''.

*qubbutz / shuruq = tense GOOSE /ü:/ in stressed or open syllables / lax FOOT /ɵ~ʊ̈/ in unstressed closed syllables. Usually transcribed ''u'' or ''ô''.

*Shva is usually not pronounced except, possibly, to resolve initial consonant clusters disallowed in English. When pronounced it is pronounced [ə]. It may be transcribed ''ă'' or ''e'', or not be transcribed. It may be pronounced [i] before /j/ (e.g. תְדַמְּיוּנִי ''thăđamăyônih'' [θəˌðamiˈjüːnɪj~ˌθðamiˈjüːnɪj] 'you (pl) liken me').
