The '''open back rounded vowel''', or '''low back rounded vowel''',<ref>{{Vowel terminology}}</ref> is a type of [[vowel]] sound, used in some [[spoken language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|ɒ}}. It is called [[Latin turned alpha]] being a rotated version of [[Latin alpha]]. It seems a "turned script ''a''", being a rotated version of "script (cursive) ''a''", which is the [[A#Typographic variants|variant of ''a'']] that lacks the extra stroke on top of a "printed ''a''". Latin turned alpha ''a'' {{angbr IPA|ɒ}} has its linear stroke on the left, whereas Latin alpha ''a'' {{angbr IPA|ɑ}} (for [[open back unrounded vowel|its unrounded counterpart]]) has its linear stroke on the right.
