7 vowel locations

7 vowel locations, or the 7 Location Vowel System, is a vowel system that was considered on the vowel ballot.

Proposal
On May 1st 2017, Samuel Ahmed proposed the system, stating: 7 vowel locations (3 front, 3 back, one central) then rounded-unrounded pairs for all except the schwa. Phonemes would be /i/ /y/ /ɯ/ /u/ /e/ /ø/ /ə/ /ɤ/ /o/ /ɛ ~ a/ /œ ~ ɶ/ /ʌ ~ ɑ/ /ɔ ~ ɒ/. Diphthongs do not exist phonemically.

Election
On May 6th, the 7 location vowel system received 13 votes and advanced to the second round. In the second round, competing against the 3 short & 3 long vowel system, the 7 location vowel system received 20 votes and it didn't become part of the demlang.
