Schwa
text:
In linguistics, specifically phonetics and phonology, schwa is a vowel sound denoted by the IPA symbol, placed in the central position of the vowel chart. In English and some other languages, it usually represents the mid central vowel sound, produced when the lips, tongue, and jaw are completely relaxed, such as the vowel sound of the in the English word about. The name schwa and the symbol may be used for some other unstressed and toneless neutral vowels, not necessarily mid central, as it is
