Does alike have schwa sound

Answer 1

That depends who is saying it - English words vary considerably in sound, even in dialects within England and especially in American and Australian English.

In England there is usually no schwa in that word; it is said with a as in cat and like rhymes with bike.

Schwa refers to a "brief, neutral vowel sound" that is neither a nor i nor e nor o nor u and is written phonetically as an inverted e; it appears in UK English words such as postman, where "man" would normally include the proper "a" sound but in postman the a becomes a schwa: postmən.

There is often a schwa at the start of the word "above": əbove.

Answer 2

Yes, the word "alike" contains the schwa sound. The schwa sound is heard in the unstressed syllable of the word, where the "a" is pronounced as /ə/.
