unreferenced date April 2008 IPA chart vowels A midvowel is a vowel sound used in some spoken language s. The defining characteristic of a midvowel is that the tongue is positioned mid way between an openvowel and a close vowel . The only midvowel with a dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet is the midcentralvowel IPA , a symbol which is also used for the vowel schwa . The IPA divides the vowel space into thirds, with the close midvowel s such as IPA e or IPA o and the openmidvowel s such as IPA or IPA equidistant in formant space between open IPA a and close IPA i or IPA u . Thus a true mid front vowel could be transcribed as either a lowered IPA e or a raised IPA . Few languages contrast all three heights of midvowel, since it is rare for a language to distinguish more than four heights of true front or back vowels. One, the Amstetten, Lower Austria Amstetten dialect of Austro Bavarian German, contrasts four heights of front unrounded, front rounded, and back vowels in addition to having an opencentralvowel. These have been transcribed with the available IPA symbols IPA i e , IPA y , IPA u o , and IPA a . class wikitable colspan 3 Amstetten Bavarian br transcription Close IPA i IPA y IPA u Close mid IPA e IPA IPA o Openmid IPA IPA IPA Near open IPA IPA IPA Open IPA a However, the vowels transcribed IPA are one third the distance between open IPA a and close IPA i y u , precisely the IPA definition of openmid vowels IPA .
