The near-close near-front unrounded vowel, or near-high near-front unrounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɪ⟩, i.e. a small capital letter i.
The IPA prefers the terms "close" and "open" for classifying vowels. Some linguists use the terms "high" and "low," respectively, instead of "close" and "open."
In the following transcriptions, a fully front vowel is represented by the "advanced" diacritic [ɪ̟].
Icelandic ⟨i⟩ is often transcribed as /ɪ/, but it is actually close-mid [e].[29][30][31]
