Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tongue position in the oral cavity significantly affects the resonance of vowels. High vowels are produced with the tongue positioned high in the oral cavity, which changes the shape and size of the resonating chambers (oral and nasal cavities), leading to more nasal resonance compared to low vowels where the tongue is positioned lower.
