What is the schwa of paper?

The schwa sound is represented by the symbol "ə" in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It's a very common sound in English, but it's not represented by a single letter in the English alphabet. It's a neutral vowel sound, like the "uh" in "about" or "the" in "the cat."

The word "paper" has two schwas:

* The first schwa is in the first syllable: pa-per

* The second schwa is in the second syllable: pa-per

So, the schwas in "paper" are:

* ə in "paə-per"

* ə in "pa-pər"
