Abstract
This work aims to revisit universals and typology of vowel systems in natural language. In general, the universals of a vowel system are evaluated by four criteria: the size of the vowel inventory of the language, the nature of constitutional entities of the vowel system, the phonetic features of the vowels, and the distribution of vowels in the vowel space. However, there are languages that are evaluated more correctly when other standards are applied. In this paper, we considered some examples of such languages. Furthermore, in terms of vowel typology, there are vowel systems that cannot be properly approached with a standard view. How to analyze such vowel systems is also discussed. In addition, we discussed the vowel space from a new perspective.
