Usage notes

edit
  • The letter Ë is generally restricted to stressed syllables, while simple E represents unstressed /ə/. However, Ë is used under certain circumstances to separate strings of vowel letters (e.g. leeën) or, in French-derived words, to show that the E is not silent (e.g. Einseignantë).
  • Under certain circumstances, the phoneme /ə/ is represented by the letter É, which see.

Letter

Ë (upper case, lower case ë, Baybayin spelling )

  1. the letter E with a diaeresis representing a schwa

Usage notes

edit
  • In Tagalog and its standardized form Filipino, Ë is used to represent the schwa, particularly in words originating from other Philippine languages, for instance Maranao (Mëranaw), Pangasinan, Ilocano, and Ibaloi. Before introduction of this letter, the schwa was ambiguously represented by A or E.
  • Writing the diaeresis is recommended but not required as long as the reader is aware that the unaccented form is supposed to sound like a schwa (/ə/).
  • The use of the diaeresis to represent the central vowel schwa is possibly inspired by the use of the diaeresis in the IPA to represent centralization.
