diphthongal

Other combinations are not diphthongal.

Its reflex of yat is primarily /e/, rarely diphthongal ije).

Yet, this fricative pronunciation was likely not generalized at once; for instance, Jewish catacombs inscriptions still show a diphthongal value in the 2nd-3rd century AD.

The name most likely derives from the diphthongal Anglo-Saxon word 'Sægar', meaning 'sea-spear'.

As many as 25 vowel combinations can be found, but some of the more recent combinations have not passed through the stage between two syllables and a diphthongal monosyllable.

They have a common origin with Ijekavian Štokavian dialects in a sense of developing yat reflex as diphthongal reflex.

Diphthongal attraction often trumps -Vna, drawing stress further left, while two successive diphthongs often have the stress on the rightmost one (counterintuitively).

"New York tawk features a diphthongal aw sound," Elster observes, "that in heavy New Yorkese sounds almost disyllabic."

Among other features, this group is characterized by shortening of long diphthongal ie and uo, akanye, and general development of g to [γ].

But the diphthongal pronunciation was still perceived as unrefined and 'southern' by educated speakers in the sixteenth century, showing that the change had not yet spread to all areas and layers of Dutch society by that time.

They function completely differently from other emphatic consonants: They are pronounced with heavy pharyngealization, affect adjacent short/unstable vowels but not full vowels, and are pronounced with a noticeable diphthongal off-glide between one of these consonants and a following front vowel.

However, that process has been completed in dialects which serve as a dialectal basis for the codification of Croatian, namely the Western Štokavian dialects with diphthongal value of yat, which is the prescribed orthoepic norm by modern Croatian grammars.

Before another vowel or a palatal consonant, it is replaced with i, and after a consonant cluster or the consonant r, it is pronounced as e. The reflex of long yat (ije) is always bisyllabic, while it is diphthongal in some other Ijekavian dialects.
