Vocalic sounds are basically vowels, but not in an alphabet point of view. A vowel, from the phonetic point of view, is a sound which once it’s past the glottis, is not obstructed, i.e. it can pass freely through the mouth. Vocalic sounds can vary from language to language, and here are the vocalic sounds for English and French.
