	Semivowel
		Semivowels (also glides, more rarely: semiconsonants) are non-syllabic vowels that form diphthongs with syllabic vowels.
		Semivowels are normally written by adding the IPA non-syllabicity mark [  ? ] to a vowel symbol, but often for simplicity the vowel symbol alone is written.
		The semivowel is considered by some to be the same as a vowel but the semivowel is very different.

	Semivowel Information
		Semivowels (also called semiconsonants or glides, though these are now dispreferred) are non-syllabic vowels that form diphthongs with syllabic vowels.
		They may be contrasted with approximants, which are similar to but closer than vowels or semivowels and behave as consonants.

	Re: semivowels
		Thus, if the Ig symbol for a vowel element used as a semivowel is not alone in a syllable, there could be a semivowel before in all dialects and /r/ after the main vowel in other dialects.
		The Ig semivowel for /j/ is the meaningful digraph : and are the sound elements of /j/.
		Semivowels are officially considered consonants, but we consider them the vowels of very short duration, because we have the complete power to separate syllables without the use of consonants in the Ig system for sounding.

		The semivowel allophones of 'i' and 'u' are typically heard when they are found before other vowels at the beginning of a word, between vowels in the middle of a word, or when they are to be sounded as the final elements of a diphthong.
		It is to be regarded as a semivowel whenever it stands before another vowel at the beginning of a word, when it occurs between two other vowels, when it occurs after 'g','q', or 's' and before another vowel, and when it occurs as the final element in the diphthongs 'au' and 'eu'.
		The answer is that the human ear is by nature acutely attuned to the sound changes that occur during the moments before and after this linguistic shut-down, during the time, that is, when the organs of speach are moving towards and then away from the full stop position.

		Semivowels are vowel-like consonants: that is, the air-flow is not stopped or impeded so as to cause a friction-sound, but the aperture through which the air passes is smaller than the aperture of any vowel.
		Present-Day English has two semivowels, both of which are voiced (vocal cords vibrating during the articulation of the nasal).
		(The semivowels, the lateral /l/, the retroflex /r/, and the nasals are sometimes called the resonants.)
