- pronunciation - Whats the difference between ɜ and ə ? - English . . .
Here's what author Gerald Kelly says about the two phonemes in his book (How to Teach Pronunciation): For both phonemes, ə and ɜː , the center of the tongue is between the half-close and half-open positions (The 'close' position is where the tongue is closest to the roof of the mouth) Lips are relaxed, and neutrally spread ə differs from others phonemes, in that its contrast with
- phonology - When should I use ə or ɪ and why does it seem like they . . .

- pronunciation - The difference between ɪ , i , and ə - English . . .

- Whats the difference between [ɚ], [ɹ̩], and [əɹ]?
The [ə] is rhotacized, also known as r-colored, resulting in [ɚ] (See the Wikipedia article titled "R-colored vowel" It has an audio example comparing [ə] with [ɚ]) Basically this means you pronounce an English R with your mouth in the [ə] position It is one sound Here is an audio example where you can hear it
- Do Azeri people actually use Ə instead of A in names?
In official contexts (ID or passport), do both forms of the name appear or just the latter? Why do Azeris still transcribe their names if both the forms are written in Latin?
