The '''open back unrounded vowel''', or '''low back unrounded vowel''',<ref>{{Vowel terminology}}</ref> is a type of [[vowel]] sound, used in some [[Speech|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|ɑ}} | The '''open back unrounded vowel''', or '''low back unrounded vowel''',<ref>{{Vowel terminology}}</ref> is a type of [[vowel]] sound, used in some [[Speech|spoken]] [[language]]s. The symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents this sound is {{angbr IPA|ɑ}}. The letter {{angbr IPA|ɑ}} is called ''script a'' or ''handwritten a'' because it lacks the extra hook on top of a printed letter ''a'', which corresponds to a different vowel, the [[open front unrounded vowel]]. ''Script a'', which has a full length linear stroke on its right, should not be confused with ''turned script a'', {{angbr IPA|ɒ}}, which has the linear stroke on its left and corresponds to a [[roundedness|rounded]] version of this vowel, the [[open back rounded vowel]]. | ||
The open back unrounded vowel is the vocalic equivalent of the [[pharyngeal approximant]] {{IPA|[ʕ̞]}}.{{sfnp|International Phonetic Association|1999|p=11}}<ref>{{cite book|last=Esling|first=John H.|author-link=John Esling|year=2010|chapter=Phonetic Notation|editor1-last=Hardcastle|editor1-first=William J.|editor2-last=Laver|editor2-first=John|editor3-last=Gibbon|editor3-first=Fiona E.|title=The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences|edition=2nd|pages=678–702|publisher=Wiley-Blackwell|doi=10.1002/9781444317251.ch18|isbn=978-1-4051-4590-9}}</ref> | |||

Template:Short description Template:Infobox IPA/core1Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Template:IPA vowels
The open back unrounded vowel, or low back unrounded vowel,[1] 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. The letter Template:Angbr IPA is called script a or handwritten a because it lacks the extra hook on top of a printed letter a, which corresponds to a different vowel, the open front unrounded vowel. Script a, which has a full length linear stroke on its right, should not be confused with turned script a, Template:Angbr IPA, which has the linear stroke on its left and corresponds to a rounded version of this vowel, the open back rounded vowel.
The open back unrounded vowel is the vocalic equivalent of the pharyngeal approximant Script error: No such module "IPA"..Template:Sfnp[2]
