The IPA does not usually have separate letters for two sounds if no known language makes a distinction between them, a property known as "selectiveness". [2] [note 4] However, if a large number of phonemically distinct letters can be derived with a diacritic, that may be used instead. [note 5]

Compressed vowels may be pronounced either with the corners of the mouth drawn in, by some definitions rounded, or with the corners spread and, by the same definitions, unrounded.
