Diaereses can be used on the second member of a vowel cluster to distinguish them from diphthongs. | Diaereses can be used on the second member of a vowel cluster to distinguish them from diphthongs. | ||
==== | ====Diphthongs==== | ||
The diphthongs are written as follows: | |||
'''ai/aj wi/wj/oj/waj aw/ał ew/eł iw/ił/iał uał/uł ee/ej øø oo/oł ia ua wa''' <br/>/ai ui au ɛu iu yu ɛɪ œy ɔu iə yə uə/ | |||
====L-colored vowels==== | |||
The nasal vowels /ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ œ̃ ã ɔ̃/ arose from historical V + /l/ sequences. In many accents they are also pharyngealized (/ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ œ̃ ã ɔ̃/ = [ĩˤ ỹˤ ũˤ ẽˤ ø̃ˤ ʌ̃ˤ õˤ ɛ̃ˤ œ̃ˤ ãˤ ɔ̃ˤ]) or diphthongized (say, /ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ ɛ̃ ã/ = [iw̃ yw̃ uɔ̃ ew̃ øw̃ əw̃ ɛw̃ œw̃]). Certain, "non-lambdic" accents realize them as long vowels (with no nasalization) - these accents may have "linked" and "intrusive L" realized as [ʁ] or [ɴ̆] analogous to linked and intrusive R in non-rhotic English accents. A handful of remote dialects pronounce them as pharyngealized vowels or vowels followed by [ɫ]. | The nasal vowels /ĩ ỹ ũ ẽ ø̃ ə̃ õ ɛ̃ œ̃ ã ɔ̃/ arose from historical V + /l/ sequences.
