Translingual edit
Etymology edit
Coined by German philologist Johann Andreas Schmeller in 1821 for his grammar of Bavarian.[1]
Pronunciation edit
IPA (file)
Symbol edit
ə
- (IPA) a reduced mid-central vowel, undefined for rounding.
- (superscript ⟨ᵊ⟩, IPA) [ə]-coloring or a weak, fleeting, epenthetic or echo [ə].
Usage notes edit
The IPA provides two letters for reduced vowels: low/open ⟨ɐ⟩ and mid ⟨ə⟩. These are not defined for rounding. For languages such as English, French and Russian that have additional or just different reduced vowels, some sources use the non-IPA letters ⟨ᵿ⟩ and ⟨ᵻ⟩ for high/close rounded and unrounded reduced vowels, or redefine IPA ⟨ɵ⟩ for a specifically rounded mid reduced vowel.
