	Open-mid back unrounded vowel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its vowel height is open-mid, which means the tongue is positioned halfway between an open vowel and a mid vowel.
		Its vowel backness is back, which means the tongue is positioned as far back as possible in the mouth in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
		Its vowel roundedness is unrounded, which means that the lips are not rounded.

	Vowel - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In phonetics, a vowel is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by an open configuration of the vocal tract, in contrast to consonants, which are characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract.
		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 (like Sedang, a relative of Vietnamese, which contrasts 55 different vowel qualities).

	Close-mid_back_unrounded_vowel
		The close-mid back unrounded vowel is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.
		The latter symbol is not to be confused with the small Greek letter gamma (γ); gamma has a descender, which in the IPA corresponds to the voiced velar fricative.
		Its vowel height is close-mid, which means the tongue is positioned halfway between close vowel and a mid vowel.

		The suffix vowel is [e], a mid front vowel, when the preceding vowel is [e] or [o], that is, a mid vowel.
		The problem is that "high vowels or low vowels, but not mid vowels" (the environment for the rule according to Hypothesis B) is not a natural class.
		In the neuter and applied suffixes in Lamba, the high front vowel [i] becomes the mid front vowel [e] when it is preceded by a mid vowel.

		Tenseness is used to describe the opposition of tense vowels as in leap, suit vs. lax vowels as in lip, soot.
		English has all three types: the vowel sound in hit is a monophthong [ɪ], the vowel sound in boy is in most dialects a diphthong [ɔɪ], and the vowel sounds of way [weɪ], flower (BrE [aʊə] AmE [aʊɚ]) form a triphthong, although the particular qualities vary by dialect.

		The different vowel qualities are realized in acoustic analyses of vowels by the relative values of the formants, acoustic resonances of the vocal tract which show up as dark bands on a spectrogram.
		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.
		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.

		Schwa is used to represent unstressed vowels, like those in the and of, as well as any like the second vowel of the word dated.
		The two vowels are 'merged' in Mid-western, western, and southern American English, as well as in Canadian English.
		A diphthong is a complex vowel, made of two components; a diphthong begins as one vowel and finishes as another.

	Lojban Reference Grammar: Chapter 3
		A diphthong is a vowel sound that consists of two elements, a short vowel sound and a glide, either a labial (IPA [w]) or palatal (IPA [j]) glide, that either precedes (an on-glide) or follows (an off-glide) the main vowel.
		The buffer vowel should be as laxly pronounced as possible, as central as possible, and as short as possible.
		Since every syllable has a vowel sound (or diphthong or syllabic consonant) as its nucleus, and the stress is on the vowel sound itself, the terms “stressed syllable” and “stressed vowel” are largely interchangeable concepts.

		He transcribes the long-mid vowels in a way close to the phonetic surface (for stressed vowels), namely as /ie, uo/ (rather than /ee, oo/, or /e:, o:/ for example, as per Wells), which are high vowels with downward glides (that is, inglides).
		The long vowels, both mid and high, are phonetically raised and shifted to the periphery relative to the corresponding short vowels.
		The back vowels may be arranged in a scale from high to low according to the mean F2 for stressed tokens of the vowel, thus: /uu, uo, ou, o, aa/.

		In the earlier period, the original bi-moraic a of rat could be treated as a long vowel, due to the presence of phonemic quantity.
		In both cases, the reason is that North Slavic had an earlier change of non-mid short vowel to a mid vowel.
		The mid vowel created a greater sonority difference between the new vowel and liquid than had been the case in turt.

		Especially in narrow transcriptions, it would be more accurate to add a diacritic indicating that the vowel is advanced or centralized, or to use the symbol [ɜ] for a lower-mid central vowel (approved in 1996).
		The cardinal vowel system hinges on the four corners of the vowel space, and the cardinal vowels are arranged around the well-defined edges.
		Schwa is used as a cover symbol for any unrounded mid central vowel when you don't want to get fussy over whether it's higher-mid or lower-mid, tense or lax.

		That is, it appears to be the suffix -ir-/-er- that varies according to the height of the preceding vowel.
		The fact that -e doesn't seem to participate would suggest that underlyingly, the suffix is -ir-, the [i] becoming mid before a mid-vowel.

		In particular, you can hear Peter Ladefoged's versions of the vowels here, and Ladefoged's renditions are compared with those of two other leading phoneticians here.
		In addition, the use of the IPA vowel symbols in the description of real languages can be seen scattered through the IPA Handbook Archive, as well as Peter Ladefoged's archive.

		At that point, the F1 is still resolutely mid, the F2 is resolutely central, and the F3 is still low.

		The first division divides the right half into consonants, and the left half into vowels and semivowels (which includes true semivowels and approximants).
		The vowels are organized based on how open the mouth is, from almost closed to fully open.
		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.
