Contemporary Galician presents a phonemic distinction between open ([-ATR]) and close ([+ATR) mid vowels: /ɛ, ɔ/ vs. /e, o/, respectively, which holds under primary stress. However, in a number of phonologically and/or morphologically defined contexts the [ATR] value of mid vowels, both stressed and unstressed, is predictable.

On The Mergers Of Latin Close‐Mid Vowels
Transactions of the Philological Society, 2018AbstractIn this article, we examine the details and dating of the mergers of Latinĭ,ēintoẹandŭ,ōintoọ. While these mergers have long since been recognised as a matter of historical fact within the broader development of Latin into Romance, their micro‐level mechanics present several problems.

Mid vowel assimilation in siSwati
Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, 2015Previous analyses of the behaviour of siSwati mid vowels show conflicting results. According to Ziervogel and Mabuza, and Taljaard and Snyman, siSwati mid vowels are raised to close mid [e, o] when preceding the high vowels [i, u] (e.g. [likʰeʃi] ‘lift’ (n.), [inɮovu] ‘elephant’) but remain open mid [ɛ, ɔ] before [-high] vowels (e.g. [liʦemba] ‘hope n.

On the mid vowel phoneme in Mandarin phonology
Lingua, 2017The classification of the mid vowel phoneme in Mandarin phonology has always been a controversial issue. On the foundation of previous researchers’ opinions, this paper analyzes and discusses Mandarin's mid vowels from a phonological perspective and an experimental phonetics perspective, proposing that the vowel system hierarchy should be considered in

Diachronica
Abstract This study re-examines the phonological inventory of Proto-Pano, challenging the prevailing view that it had only four oral vowels. Through a comparative analysis of 23 contemporary Pano languages/varieties, we reconstruct a Proto-Pano system with two additional mid vowels, proposing a six-vowel inventory.

The Mid Vowels of Maga Rukai and Their Implications
Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2003This study investigates the formation of mid vowels in the Maga dialect of Rukai, an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan. In contrast to the diachronic account presented in Li (1977), which assumes, based on cognate comparison among Rukai dialects, that Maga mid vowels derive historically from Proto Rukai, the current work draws evidence from ...

Lip posture of high and high-mid vowels in Hnaring Lutuv
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023Lutuv is an under-documented South Central Tibeto-Burman language which is reported to contain six high monophthongs /i, y, ɨ, ʉ, Ɯ, u/ and four diphthongal vowels with high onsets /ie̯, yə̯, uɔ̯, Ɯə̯/ (Bohnert etal., 2022). No articulatory work on Lutuv exists to date, but impressionistic observations suggest that while the contrast between /i, y/ and

On Comanche’s Central Mid Vowel
International Journal of American Linguistics, 2011Comanche has six vowel qualities /i, e, a, o, u, ɨ/ (plus a length distinction), and while the literature agrees almost completely on /i, e, a, o, u/, the last vowel /ɨ/ has been problematic—described as central in some papers, back in others, and compared to both round and spread vowels of English.
