IPA pronunciation guide for Japanese vowels Japanese has 5 vowels:
Hiragana IPA Notes あ [a̠] This is a low central vowel, it is between the English a in "father" and the English a in "dad". い [i] This sounds like the English ee in "feet." う [ü͍] ⓘ [u] nor spread to the sides like [ɯ] . Note, however, that there is no IPA symbol for lip compression, and the combination of round vowel with spread diacritic "[u͍] " is an ad hoc transcription.え [e̞] The e sounds to English speakers like a mix between short e in as in "bed," and long e as in "lay," though it is closer to the former than the latter. お [o̞] ⓘ
