		The close-mid front unrounded vowel is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its vowel backness is front, which means the tongue is positioned as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.

	Wikipedia: Ø
		In modern Danish and Norwegian, the letter is a unique vowel, and neither a diphthong, a ligature, nor a variant of the letter "O".
		It is also used as the standard symbol for diameter, though the official symbol is slightly stylised (the stroke is often thinner at the bottom and thicker at the top, like the club or baton shape of the exclamation point; and extends further above the o portion).
		The symbol "ø" is also used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to indicate the sound of the Danish and Norwegian letter, a rounded close-mid front vowel.

	VOWEL FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Furthermore, in English some vowel sounds are represented by combinations of vowel letters, such as the ''ea'' in ''beat'' or by a vowel letter and an approximant letter, as the ''ow'' in ''how'', or the ''er'' in ''her''.
		Vowels are especially important to the structures of words in languages that have very few consonants (like Polynesian_languages such as Maori and Hawaiian), and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants.
		In tonal_languages, in most cases the tone of a syllable is carried by the vowel, meaning that the relative pitch or the pitch contour that marks the tone is superimposed on the vowel.

	Ilya Writing
		In the cases of vowel pairs the first vowel is a spread vowel, where the corners of the mouth are held far apart, and the second is a rounded vowel, where the lips are held in an "o" shape.
		The vowels are organized based on how open the mouth is, from almost closed to fully open.
		The first division divides the right half into consonants, and the left half into vowels and semivowels (which includes true semivowels and approximants).

		It’s a close-mid vowel because the degree of aperture of the mouth is the first/minimum.
		It’s a front vowel because the tongue body is in the pre-palatal region.
		We have to remember that vowels themselves have other classifications, according to some elements like the shape and size of the oral cavity and the number of active resonators.

		In RP and GA, this vowel occurs only as the first part of the diphthongs, as in ''light'' ; and, as in ''how''.

	SYRIAC LANGUAGE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Vowel length is generally not important: close_vowels tend to be longer than open_vowels.
		Especially in the presence of an emphatic_consonant, vowels tend to become mid-centralised.
		As with most Semitic_languages, the vowels of Syriac are mostly subordinated to consonants.

	Rounded_vowel
		In phonetics, vowel roundedness refers to the amount of rounding in the lips during the articulation of a vowel.
		In most languages, front vowels tend to be unrounded, while back vowels tend to be rounded, but some languages, such as French and German, distinguish between rounded and unrounded vowels at the same height and backness.
		In the International Phonetic Alphabet vowel chart, rounded vowels are the ones that occur on the right in each pair of vowels.

		The TOA letters a, o, e and i are then used to indicate the degree of closure on the standard vowel diagram.
		Some vowels must be slightly rearranged, but this can be done while preserving their relative positions.
		The following proposal is a system corresponding closely to the International Phonetic Alphabet, but in which the symbolic representation of a new sound is also related analytically to the way it is formed in the mouth.

	Sounds
		In syllables that end in a vowel, the sound that is written o is close to the underlined sound in the English words 'soap' or 'soup', depending on the speaker's dialect.
		VOWELS are sounds that are made when air passes relatively freely from your lungs up through your vocal tract.
		Consonants are different from vowels in that the airflow from the lungs is nearly or completely stopped at some point in the vocal tract.

	Back vowel
		The defining characteristic of a back vowel is that the tongue is positioned as far back as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.

	ITALIAN LANGUAGE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Italian uses the acute_accent over the letter ''E'' (as in ''perchÃ©'', why) to indicate a mid-close vowel, and the grave_accent (as in ''tÃ¨'', tea) to indicate a mid-open vowel.
		Italian has few diphthongs, and so most unfamiliar diphthongs heard in foreign words (in particular, those with a first vowel that is not "i" or "u", or a first vowel that is stressed), will be assimilated as the corresponding dieresis (i.e., the vowel sounds will be pronounced separately: "strive" and "hive" will rhyme with "naÃ¯ve").
		Out of the Romance languages, Italian is generally considered to be the one most closely resembling Latin in terms of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

	ANCIENT GREEK FACTS AND INFORMATION
		An additional, extremely important class is that of ''contracted verbs'', where the stem itself ends in a vowel, and the vowel contracts with the initial (thematic) vowel of the endings.
		Note that /w/ and /j/, when following a vowel and not preceding a vowel, combined early on with the vowel to form a diphthong and were thus not lost.
		The loss of /j/ after a consonant was accompanied by a large number of complex changes, including diphthongization of a preceding vowel or palatalization or other change to a directly preceding consonant.

	AUE: Comments on a Proposal for Reformed English Spelling
		BE uses O, the rounded, back, close-mid vowel in certain words, while AE has either that vowel or A, the unrounded, back, open vowel.
		BE uses a vowel, A., in words like 'got', 'hot', and 'rock', while that vowel may not even exist in AE and certainly does not exist in BC.
		In many dialects, the second vowel in 'music' is the same as the vowel in 'pick'.

	Vowel Space
		This enables us to talk of high (or close), low (or open) back or front vowels.
		The method usually used is to set up an imaginary "vowel space" and define vowels by their position in the space.
		Another feature of vowels is ROUNDING: in English, front vowels are unrounded, i.e the lips are spread (FLEECE, DRESS, TRAP etc.) while back vowels tend to have rounded lips (GOOSE, THOUGHT etc.) In other languages, front vowels can be rounded and back vowels unrounded.

	Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net
		Common digraphs include OO (inconsistently with the sound Near-close near-back rounded vowel {{IPAʊ}} or Close back rounded vowel {{IPA/u/}}), OI (usually a diphthong of Open-mid back rounded vowel {{IPAɔ}} and Close front unrounded vowel {{IPAɪ}}), as well as OA, OE, and OU with a variety of pronunciations depending on context.
		In English language English, though, O has a short value which maps to Open back rounded vowel {{IPAɒ}} (Open back unrounded vowel {{IPAɑ}} in parts of North America), while the long value tends to a diphthong of Close-mid back rounded vowel {{IPA/o/}} and Near-close near-back rounded vowel {{IPAʊ}}.
		O is most commonly associated with the close-mid back rounded vowel {{IPAoʊ}}.

	Articles - Vowel height
		The first formant of a vowel (F1) usually corresponds to vowel height, with a higher F1 corresponding to a lower vowel height and a lower F1 corresponding to a higher vowel height.
		In phonetics and phonology, vowel height is a feature that shows the vertical position of the tongue relative to the roof of the mouth in a vowel sound.
		The International Phonetic Alphabet identifies 7 different vowel heights, although no language distinguishes all 7:
