Catford notes{{full citation needed|date=July 2019}} that most languages with rounded front and back vowels use distinct types of labialization, protruded back vowels and compressed front vowels. However, a few languages, such as [[Scandinavian languages|Scandinavian]] ones, have protruded front vowels. One of these, Swedish, even contrasts the two types of rounding in front vowels (see [[near-close near-front rounded vowel]], with Swedish examples of both types of rounding).

As there are no diacritics in the IPA to distinguish protruded and compressed rounding, an old diacritic for labialization, {{angbr IPA|&nbsp;&nbsp;̫}}, will be used here as an ''ad hoc'' symbol for protruded front vowels. Another possible transcription is {{angbr IPA|yʷ}} or {{angbr IPA|iʷ}} (a close front vowel modified by endolabialization), but this could be misread as a diphthong.

Acoustically, this sound is "between" the more typical compressed close front vowel {{IPA|[y]}} and the unrounded close front vowel {{IPAblink|i}}.
