The sound /ɑː/ is an open back unrounded long vowel.

How to make it:

1. Tongue position: Tongue is low and pulled back in the mouth.

2. Lips: Neutral and relaxed, slightly open. Don’t round them.

3. Length: Long vowel, so hold it out.

Sound description:
It’s the “ah” sound in British English words like car /kɑː/, start /stɑːt/, father /ˈfɑːðə/, bath /bɑːθ/.

In American English, this same sound is used in car, father, and often in bath, dance, plant. Some American accents use /æ/ for those words instead.

Minimal pair example in British English:

/ɑː/: calm /kɑːm/ - long, low, back

/æ/: clam /klæm/ - short, low, front

/ɔː/: call /kɔːl/ - long, mid, back with rounded lips

Tip to practice: Open your mouth wide like a doctor checking your throat, and say “ahhh”. Keep it relaxed and low in the back of your mouth.
