Template:Short description Template:Infobox IPA Template:IPA vowels

The close-mid central unrounded vowel, or high-mid central unrounded vowel,<ref>Template:Vowel terminology</ref> is a type of vowel sound used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is Template:Angbr IPA. This is a mirrored letter e and should not be confused with the schwa Template:Angbr IPA, which is a turned e. It was added to the IPA in 1993; before that, this vowel was transcribed Template:Angbr IPA (Latin small letter e with diaeresis, not the Cyrillic small letter yo (ё). Certain older sources<ref>For example Template:Harvcoltxt.</ref> transcribe this vowel Template:Angbr IPA.

The letter Template:Angbr IPA may be used with a lowering diacritic Template:Angbr IPA, to denote the mid central unrounded vowel.

Conversely, Template:Angbr IPA, the symbol for the mid central vowel may be used with a raising diacritic Template:Angbr IPA to denote the close-mid central unrounded vowel, although that is more accurately written with an additional unrounding diacritic Template:Angbr IPA to explicitly denote the lack of rounding (the canonical value of IPA Template:Angbr IPA is undefined for rounding).
