Close front unrounded vowel
The close front unrounded vowel, or high front unrounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound that occurs in most spoken languages, represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet by the symbol i. It is similar to the vowel sound in the English word ''meet''—and often called long-e in American English—although in English this sound has additional length (usually being represented as ) and is not normally pronounced as a pure vowel (it is a slight diphthong) – a purer sound is heard in many other languages, such as French, in words like ''chic''.
The close front unrounded vowel is the vocalic equivalent of the palatal approximant . The two are almost identical featurally. They alternate with each other in certain languages, such as French, and in the diphthongs of some languages, with the non-syllabic diacritic and are used in different transcription systems to represent the same sound.
Languages that use the Latin script commonly use the letter to represent this sound, though there are some exceptions: in English orthography that letter is usually associated with (as in ''bite'') or (as in ''bit''), and is more commonly represented by , , , or , as in the words ''scene'', ''bean'', ''meet'', ''niece'', ''conceive''; (see Great Vowel Shift). Irish orthography reflects both etymology and whether preceding consonants are broad or slender, so such combinations as , , and all represent .
