File:Spectrogram close-mid front rounded vowel (IPA ø).png

The close-mid front rounded vowel, or high-mid front rounded vowel,{{Vowel terminology}} is a type of vowel sound used in some spoken languages.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the sound is {{angbr IPA|ø}}, a lowercase letter o with a diagonal stroke through it, borrowed from Danish, Norwegian, and Faroese, which sometimes use the letter to represent the sound. This sound is represented by the Ø in most of Scandinavia; by the digraphs List of Latin-script digraphs#E and List of Latin-script digraphs#Other (using the Œ ligature) in French; and by Ö in many languages like German-derived languages, Estonian, Swedish, Finnish, and Icelandic. The symbol is commonly referred to as "o, slash" in English.

For the close-mid front rounded vowel that is usually transcribed with the symbol {{angbr IPA|ʏ}}, see near-close front rounded vowel. If the usual symbol is {{angbr IPA|ø}}, the vowel is listed here.

Close-mid front compressed vowel

The close-mid front compressed vowel is typically transcribed in IPA simply as {{angbr IPA|ø}}, which is the convention used in this article. There is no dedicated diacritic for compression in the IPA. However, the compression of the lips can be shown with the letter {{IPAalink|β̞}} as {{angbr IPA|e͡β̞}} (simultaneous {{IPA|[e]}} and labial compression) or {{angbr IPA|eᵝ}} ({{IPA|[e]}} modified with labial compression). The spread-lip diacritic {{angbr IPA| ͍ }} may also be used with a rounded vowel letter {{angbr IPA|ø͍}} as an ad hoc symbol, but 'spread' technically means unrounded.

For the close-mid front compressed vowel that is usually transcribed with the symbol {{angbr IPA|ʏ}}, see near-close front compressed vowel. If the usual symbol is {{angbr IPA|ø}}, the vowel is listed here.

Because front rounded vowels are assumed to have compression, and few descriptions cover the distinction, some of the following may actually have protrusion.

Catford notes{{full citation needed|date=July 2019}} that most languages with rounded front and back vowels use distinct types of labialization, protruded back vowels and compressed front vowels. However, a few, such as the Scandinavian languages, have protruded front vowels. One of them, Swedish, even contrasts the two types of rounding in front vowels (see near-close near-front rounded vowel, with Swedish examples of both types of rounding).

As there are no diacritics in the IPA to distinguish protruded and compressed rounding, an old diacritic for labialization, {{angbr IPA| ̫}}, will be used here as an ad hoc symbol for protruded front vowels. Another possible transcription is {{angbr IPA|øʷ}} or {{angbr IPA|eʷ}} (a close-mid front vowel modified by endolabialization), but that could be misread as a diphthong.

For the close-mid front protruded vowel that is usually transcribed with the symbol {{angbr IPA|ʏ}}, see near-close front protruded vowel. If the usual symbol is {{angbr IPA|ø}}, the vowel is listed here.

Acoustically, the sound is in between the more typical compressed close-mid front vowel {{IPA|[ø]}} and the unrounded close-mid front vowel {{IPAblink|e}}.
