Schwa /ǝ/<br />
by far the most common vowel in the English<br />
language<br />
typically found in function words (unless they are said in<br />
isolation): for, the, but, should, can etc.<br />
the schwa vowel is typically very short in duration and<br />
not very loud<br />
occurs in the large majority of English polysyllabic<br />
words e.g. “photographer” /fətɒgrəfə/<br />
“abominable” /əbɒmənəbl/<br />
