In this study, the acoustic features of these vowels including first formant, second formant and third formant are measured. Audio recordings are taken from ten men producing six vowels /i, e, ə, ʌ, o, u/ in monosyllabic words. Then these recordings are analyzed by Praat. Analysis of formant values showed that the sequence of F1 is as /i< u < o < e < ə < ʌ/ which is inversely related to vowel height, the sequence of F2 is as /u < o < ʌ < ə < e
