Western slavic languages still use a version of the 'Close unrounded central vowel' implicitly in pronounciation, even though it is not represented in writing.

Western slavic languages still use a version of the 'Close unrounded central vowel' implicitly in pronounciation, even though it is not represented in writing. An example of this would be words in Romanian (which has a character representation for this sound) that were adopted from slavic languages. E.g. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/b%C3%A2rlog#Romanian https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/b%C3%A2rlog#Romanian
