| The '''close-mid back unrounded vowel''', or '''high-mid back unrounded vowel''',<ref>{{Vowel terminology}}</ref> is a type of [[vowel]] sound, used in some spoken [[language]]s. Its symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] is {{angbr IPA|ɤ}}, called "ram's horns". It is distinct from the symbol for the [[voiced velar fricative]], {{angbr IPA|ɣ}}, which has a [[descender]]. Despite that, some writings<ref>Such as {{Harvcoltxt|Booij|1999}} and {{Harvcoltxt|Nowikow|2012}}.</ref> use this symbol for the voiced velar fricative.
| |
| | |
| Before the [[1989 IPA Convention]], the symbol for the close-mid back unrounded vowel was {{angbr|[[Image:Latin letter small capital Gamma.svg|12px]]}}, sometimes called "baby gamma", which has a flat top; this symbol was in turn derived from and replaced the inverted [[Small caps|small capital]] A, ⟨<small>Ɐ</small>⟩, that represented the sound before the [[History of the International Phonetic Alphabet#1928 revisions|1928 revision]] to the IPA.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/principlesofinte00inteuoft|title=The principles of the International Phonetic Association|last=International Phonetic Association|first=|date=1912|publisher=Paris, Association Phonétique Internationale|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=10}}</ref> The symbol was ultimately revised to be {{angbr|[[Image:Ram's horns.svg|12px]]}}, "ram's horns", with a rounded top, in order to better differentiate it from the [[Latin gamma]] {{IPAalink|ɣ}}.<ref>{{cite web|last=Nicholas|first=Nick|title=Greek-derived IPA symbols|url=http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode_interloping.html#ipa|work=Greek Unicode Issues|location=University of California, Irvine|year=2003|access-date=2013-12-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219023133/http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode_interloping.html#ipa|archive-date=2013-12-19|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Unicode]] provides only {{unichar|0264|LATIN SMALL LETTER RAMS HORN|html=}}, but in some fonts this character may appear as a "baby gamma" instead.

| | |
| Some languages (e.g. [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]]) feature the '''mid back unrounded vowel''', which is slightly lower.{{sfnp|Ternes|Vladimirova-Buhtz|1999|p=56}} No language has been found to contrast close-mid and mid back unrounded vowels.
