If so, can you help me find the word for something. I was having a conversation with my Spanish friend and was trying to describe it but failing miserably! Here goes..
Every language has a certain that its speakers make when rested/ in between words, sentences, whatever. It goes along with the phonological(?) nature of the sounds that they make regularly in that particular language.
So for French it's "uh" (mid vowel, lips forward, a schwah sound). For Spanish it's "eh" , (mouth stretched wider, tongue near roof of mouth).
My question is: is there a linguistic term for this sound?
