The Schwa

The schwa is the vowel sound in many lightly pronounced unaccented syllables in words of more than one syllable and in some common single syllable words. It is sometimes pronounced "uh". A schwa sound can be represented by any vowel.

For example:

a spelling
again
vitamin


e spelling
petition
celebrate


i spelling
president
experiment


o spelling
occur
condition


u spelling
campus
support
