In most English accents, back vowels and [u] are<br />
produced with rounded lips.<br />
/u, ʊ, ɒ, ɔ/ e.g. “cooed, could, cod, cord”<br />
Languages tend to prefer back vowels to be<br />
rounded and front vowels to be unrounded but<br />
there are exceptions<br />
e.g. French: front rounded vowels [y]<br />
Japanese back unrounded vowels [ɯ]<br />
