It's not limited to Latin/Slavic languages; Hebrew and Arabic also have dipthongs: http://www.arbcol.macam98.ac.il/plurals.htm So does Korean: http://www.chosun.ac.kr/~ongmi/teaching/phonology/pho3.htm There are also mathematical notation dipthongs: http://www.mathnstuff.com/math/spoken/here/0front/pg10.htm (search for "dipthong"). So does Bangla (official language of Bangladesh, if you've never heard of it). And Greek -- I shouldn't forget Greek; many English dipthongs are derived from the Greek. Try an Altavista search for "dipthongs"... Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
