This research article aims to compare and contrast vowel sounds of English and Fur languages in order to find differences and similarities between them. The researchers have adopted contrastive methodology to conduct this research article. They compare and contrast vowel sounds of English and Fur languages. The results of the research revealed that the both languages belong to different language families. English is from an Indo-European language family, whereas, Fur belongs to Nilo-Saharan language family. Moreover, there are short vowels in both languages with slight differences between them. English has seven short vowel /æ/,/ e /, /ɪ/, / ɑ /,/ ʌ /,/u/,/ ə / but ,there are eight /a̠/,/a/,/e/,/i/,/ ɨ /,/o/,/u/,/ʉ/ in Fur language. They almost share the same phonetic features of these five vowels /æ/,/e /, /ɪ/, / ɑ /,/u/. There are two short in English/ʌ/, /ə/ without equivalent in Fur, however, Fur language has /a̠/, /ɨ/, /ʉ/ these sounds do not exist in English. In addition to that, there are five long vowels ( English/i:/, /a:/, /ɜ:/,/ɔ:/,/u:/)( Fur /ee/,//oo/,/ii/,/aa/,/uu/) in both languages which have the same phonetic characteristics. On the other hand, English has eight diphthongs and triphthongs without counterparts in Fur language. Furthermore, there are three long vowels in Fur which do not exist in English language. The differences in vowel sounds between two languages result in problems faced by the Fur language learners when learning English and vice versa.
