As nouns the difference between vowel and tashkil
is that vowel is a sound produced by the vocal cords with relatively little restriction of the oral cavity, forming the prominent sound of a syllable while tashkil is vowelization, vocalization or diacritization - the various diacritics, taken collectively, that are attached to Arabic letters in certain styles of writing and that indicate such features as vowels and gemination (consonant doubling) and absence of any vowels.
