schwa: the sound “uh.” For example, the vowel sound heard at the beginning of the word alone. The schwa is represented by the symbol /a/ and any of the vowel letters.

“Schwa is a name of a phonetic letter in the phonetic alphabet”

Phonetics are used to spell out words in a way to where you can sound them out.

I do not have a phonetic keyboard, so it’s hard to show you. If you look in the dictionary, and look up any word, right after it you will see the word spelled a little funny…..that’s phonetics.

A “schwa” looks like an upside down e. That’s exactly how you would write it. Like an upside down e.

The sound will be harder to describe. I will list some words that have the schwa and then put the in capitals so you can tell.

The sounds is like “uhh”

lis…A

j..U…nk

U…nderneath

pl..U…g

j…U…g

n…U…gget

dr…U…g

My name is the first one…it has a “schwa”. It’s at the very end. Lis..uhhhh…or Lisa.

Sometimes the term “schwa” is used for any epenthetic vowel; however, different languages use different epenthetic vowels.

1 : an unstressed mid-central vowel (as the usual sound of the first and last vowels of the English word America)

2 : the symbol & used for the schwa sound and less widely for a similarly articulated stressed vowel (as in cut)

Essentially the sound “uh”
