V can either be a monophthong or a diphthong. The Hamont dialect contains 22 monophthong and 13 diphthong phonemes. The standard language has seven monophthong vowel phonemes. Eastern Armenian has six monophthong vowel sounds. Diphthongs have two constituents&colon; a glide (or a semivowel) and a monophthong. Vowel breaking or diphthongization is a vowel shift in which a monophthong becomes a diphthong. Monophthongization or smoothing is a vowel shift in which a diphthong becomes a monophthong. The following sections describe each monophthong in detail. In Christopher Shackle's analysis, Saraiki distinguishes up to 48 consonants and 9 monophthong vowels. However, long monophthong vowels also include < *ei. Oral monophthong vowels in Acehnese are shown in the table below. The following table lists the monophthong vowels reconstructable for Proto-Finnic. However, in some dialects (e.g. Scottish English) is a monophthong . That is, when a monophthong changes into a diphthong or triphthong (Monophthongization). Similarly, the digraph and trigraph represent the monophthong due to the same process.
