It evaluates whether the sound is a phoneme capable of creating meaningful differences in words or whether it is a variant of another phoneme as the case with other Igbo languages. The study also investigates the distribution of the sound and shows whether there are restrictions to its occurrence. To analyze the data, the Structgenautcy framework by Yul-Ifode, Okumo, and Ezenwafor (2016) was employed using data sourced from competent native speakers through the Ibadan four hundred wordlists. The qualitative method of analysis was adopted in analyzing the data. It was found out that the mid-front unexpanded vowel, \/\u03b5\/, is a phoneme in Ukwuani in contrast with the phoneme \/a\/ and other phonemes. The language has nine vowels divided into two harmonic sets with the \/a\/ occurring with both sets. This is not the case in most other Igbo languages that have an eight vowel system neatly divided into two sets with the exclusion of \/\u03b5\/. Thus, while \/\u03b5\/ is realized as a variant in Igbo, it is a phoneme in Ukwuani contrasting minimally with other phonemes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-gba721e\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-gba721e gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-left-desktop text-align-left-tablet text-align-left-mobile\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><h1 class=\"gutentor-text\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g9b42e9\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g9b42e9 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-justify-desktop text-align-justify-tablet text-align-justify-mobile\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">contrast, Igboid, phoneme, phonemic status, structgenautcy, Ukwuani<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1V6BXFIm7NJe15RnDIqkkb8Ca7ixg3bJj\/view?usp=sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/atras-univ-saida.dz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1136\" style=\"width:183px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atras-univ-saida.dz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/atras-univ-saida.dz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/atras-univ-saida.dz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-768x214.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"section-gf37f46\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-gf37f46 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-left-desktop text-align-left-tablet text-align-left-mobile\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><h1 class=\"gutentor-text\"><strong><strong>How to Cite this Paper:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-gd74f1a\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-gd74f1a gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text text-align-justify-desktop text-align-justify-tablet text-align-justify-mobile\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">Okumo, F.
