|Vowels-spectrogram-british-english-adult-male.jpg|[[Phonetics]] often involves modern [[technology]] to analyse speech, providing evidence for linguists on the nature of [[spoken language]]. This [[spectrogram]] as used in [[acoustic phonetics]] shows the [[frequency|frequencies]] of vibrations involved in the production of six [[British English]] [[vowel]]s by an adult [[male]] [[native speaker]]: from left to right, the vowels as in ''bee'', ''sue'', ''herd'', ''or'', ''bar'' and ''buy''. The bands of energy ([[formant]]s) are distinctive for each vowel; for example, the lower the bottom formant ('F1'), the higher the vowel is articulated in the [[mouth]]. The greater the distance between F1 and the second-lowest 'F2' formant correlates with how far back in the mouth the vowel is produced.
