👉 Lorisiform is a term used in linguistics and phonology to describe a vowel sound that has an unrounded front edge. This vowel sound is often associated with the tongue, and it can be pronounced as a single syllable or with two syllables. Lorisiform sounds are typically found in languages where the mouth is not rigidly closed like English, German, or French, but rather when the tongue is open to receive sounds from the surrounding air.
