Symbol

[edit]

ɹ

  1. (IPA, UPA) an alveolar approximant.
    (IPA, superscript ⟨ʴ⟩) [ɹ]-coloring of a vowel, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic [ɹ].
    (dated) specifically, once commonly used to represent rhotic vowels.

Usage notes

[edit]

(vowel with hook diacritic) is now standard IPA for a generic rhotic vowel. ⟨Vʴ⟩ remains in use in English dialectology to indicate specific rhotic coloring in close transcription, e.g. alveolar [Vʴ] as opposed to post-alveolar [Vʵ], labiodental [Vᶹ] or uvular [Vʶ]. The obsolete IPA variant ⟨Vʳ⟩ is not used in such situations (at least for English) because it would indicate that the vowel was trilled.
