The '''diminished family''' of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the major diesis a.k.a. diminished comma, [[648/625]], the amount by which four [[6/5]] minor thirds exceed an [[octave]], and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The diminished family of temperaments tempers out the major diesis a.k.a. diminished comma, 648/625, the amount by which four 6/5 minor thirds exceed an octave, and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave. Hence it has the same 300-cent 6/5-approximations as 12edo.

Diminished

Main article: Diminished (temperament)

The generator of diminished can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and 12edo, with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning, though a flatter fifth might be preferred to go with the flat minor third. Its ploidacot is tetraploid monocot.
