The Greek language also underwent a vowel shift near the beginning of the Common Era , which included iotacism .

The defining characteristic of a mid vowel is that the tongue is positioned mid way between an open vowel and a close vowel . The only mid vowel with a dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet is the mid central vowel IPA , a symbol which is also used for the vowel schwa . The IPA divides the vowel space into thirds, with the close mid vowel s such as IPA e or IPA o and the open mid vowel 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 mid vowel, 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 open central vowel.

In speech, an echo vowel is a vowel that repeats the final vowel in a word.
