Variations
ɨ̆ , small barred i written with a breve , represents a very short close central unrounded vowel. The breve indicates a very short , or overshort vowel.
In the Golin language , ɨ̆ is used in the IPA transcription of the very short high central epenthetic vowel phone , which is restricted to syllables closing with a sonorant .
In the Malayalam language , '് ' is a symbol used to represent the IPA for ɨ̆.
Barred i is found written with an acute accent (majuscule: Ɨ́, minuscule: ɨ́) in the orthographies of several languages: Cora , Kenyang , Mfumte , etc. Depending on the language, the accent diacritic serves either to indicate the location of a word's primary stress or to mark rising tone.
