{{IPA vowels|class=floatright}}
The '''mid front unrounded vowel''' is a type of [[vowel]] sound that is used in some spoken [[language]]s. There is no dedicated symbol in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] that represents the exact mid front unrounded vowel between close-mid {{IPA|[e]}} and open-mid {{IPA|[ɛ]}}, but it is normally written {{angbr IPA|e}}. If precision is required, diacritics may be used, such as {{angbr IPA|e̞}} or {{angbr IPA|ɛ̝}} (the former, indicating [[lowered (phonetics)|lowering]], being more common). In [[Sinology]] and [[Koreanology]], {{angbr|[[ᴇ]]}} is sometimes used, for example in the [[Zhengzhang Shangfang]] reconstructions or in [[Yuen Ren Chao|Chao Yuen Ren]] ''Grammar of Spoken Chinese.''
For many of the languages that have only one [[phonemic]] front unrounded vowel in the mid-vowel area (neither close nor open), the vowel is pronounced as a true mid vowel and is phonetically distinct from either a close-mid or open-mid vowel. Examples are [[Basque language|Basque]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Romanian language|Romanian]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Turkish language|Turkish]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Hejazi Arabic]], [[Serbo-Croatian]] and [[Korean language|Korean]] ([[Seoul Dialect|Seoul dialect]]). A number of dialects of [[English language|English]] also have such a mid front vowel. However, there is no general predisposition. [[Igbo language|Igbo]] and [[Egyptian Arabic]], for example, have a close-mid {{IPA|[e]}}, and [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]] has an open-mid {{IPA|[ɛ]}}, but none of these languages have another phonemic mid front vowel.
