Introduction to the IPA: The Vowels Not in English
Level: Basic
Time taken to Complete: 200 minutes Activity:
Now, We went through all the vowels in English, but what about the ones not on the list. We will not go through them and see how many of these can apply to the languages you study. The we have /ɨ/ and /ʉ/. The first one is the unrounded form of a high central vowel. This is like /ə/only higher. This is in Russian, and most of the Slavic languages as well as many others. Then we go to the ones we naturally round, /u,ʊ,o,ɔ/ and unrounded them. The high two, /u,ʊ/ are unrounded to /ɯ/ (they don't seem to have a separate symbol for the tense and lax one). Now this might be daunting it's really not that hard. But all these new vowels means we have tones of new diphthongs and tripthongs.
