Breve in Conlangs
| Usage | Language | Creator | Letters | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absence of pitch accent | Inng (external transcription) | Qwynegold | Ăă /a/, Ĕĕ /ə, i/, Ĭĭ /i/, L̆l̆ /l̩/, M̆m̆ /ŋ̍/, N̆n̆ /ŋ̍/, Ŏŏ /u, ə, a/, Ŭŭ /u/ | The breve here marks that the syllable is without accent, and that the actual tone of the syllable may start at varying heights depending on the environment. (See also Dot Below for another marking of accentless syllables in Inng.) Some of these accented letters only appear as part of a digraph when representing a certain sound.[4] |
| Central vowel | Songulda (external romanization) | Qwynegold | Ĭĭ /ɨ/ | |
| Non-syllabic vowel | Esperanto | Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof | Ŭŭ /u̯/ | This vowel is commonly found in the dipthongs /au̯/ and /eu̯/, but can occasionally be found in other positions too.[5] Unaccented Uu is /u/, which appears in hiatus when next to another vowel. |
