The close front unrounded vowel(also called high front unrounded vowel), is a type of vowel. It is an i in the International Phonetic Alphabet. It sounds like the English word meet. It is also called a long-e in American English.[1] In English this sound has more length then it should and is not usually pronounced as a pure vowel(it is a diphthong).[2] A pure [i] sound can be heard in languages such as French with words like chic.
