Second consonant (C 4): Always /s/ in native Spanish words. [102] Other consonants, except /ɲ/, /ʝ/ and /ʎ/, are tolerated as long as they are less sonorous than the first consonant in the coda, such as in York or the Catalan last name Brucart, but the final element is sometimes deleted in colloquial speech.

Diphthongs need to be in a separate table. How best to organize them depends on what diphthongs are present in the language's phonemic inventory. If almost any monophthong can be followed by /j/ or /w/ , consider treating them as vowel + glide sequences rather than as monophonemic diphthongs.
Ortografía de la lengua española (2010). Spanish orthography is the orthography used in the Spanish language.The alphabet uses the Latin script.The spelling is fairly phonemic, especially in comparison to more opaque orthographies like English, having a relatively consistent mapping of graphemes to phonemes; in other words, the pronunciation of a given Spanish-language word can largely be ...
Some analysts recognize the existence of another consonant, the /ɰ/ used only in the diphthong /ɰi/, and describe Korean's sound inventory as having as many as ten vowels. Vowels / ø / and / y / continue to be used only by older speakers, and have been replaced with /we/ and /wi/, respectively.
Falling diphthongs go from a high point to a lower point and centering ones go from a non-center point towards schwa. As for falling diphthongs not being real diphthongs, I mentioned this elsewhere in the talk page but it really depends on the language. In English, they wouldn't be (except maybe the /ju/ in cute) but in Spanish they would be.

In Welsh, the digraph ll fused for a time into a ligature.. A digraph (from Ancient Greek δίς (dís) 'double' and γράφω (gráphō) 'to write') or digram is a pair of characters used in the orthography of a language to write either a single phoneme (distinct sound), or a sequence of phonemes that does not correspond to the normal values of the two characters combined.
Narrow diphthongs are the ones that end with a vowel which on a vowel chart is quite close to the one that begins the diphthong, for example Northern Dutch [eɪ], [øʏ] and [oʊ]. Wide diphthongs are the opposite – they require a greater tongue movement, and their offsets are farther away from their starting points on the vowel chart.
