Acoustically, it is a near-open or near-low back rounded vowel. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɒ⟩. It is called \"turned script a\", being a rotated version of \"script (cursive) a\", which is the variant of a that lacks the extra stroke on top of a \"printed a\". Turned script a ⟨ɒ⟩ has its linear stroke on the left, whereas \"script a\" ⟨ɑ⟩ (for its unrounded counterpart) has its linear stroke on the right. A well-rounded [ɒ] is rare, but it is found in some varieties of English. In most languages with this vowel, such as English and Persian, the rounding of [ɒ] is slight, and in English at least, it is sulcal or \"grooved\". However, Assamese has an \"over-rounded\" [ɒ̹], with rounding as strong as that for [u].The IPA prefers terms \"close\" and \"open\" for vowels, as does the name of the article.
