		Monosyllabic triphthongs stressed on the first element in Bernese German (a Swiss German dialect) and in Latvian: Bernese German is the dialect of High Alemannic German spoken in the Swiss plateau (Mittelland) part of the canton of Bern and in some neighbouring regions.
		In phonology, diphthongs and triphthongs are distinguished from sequences of monophthongs by whether or not the vowel sound may be analyzed into different phonemes or not.
		A triphthong, like a diphthong, is a vowel sound that changes height and frontness as it is pronounced; unlike a diphthong, this change is not just in one direction, and therefore can only be accurately specified by naming three positions, not just where it starts and ends.

		A triphthong, like a diphthong, is a vowel sound that changes height and frontness as it is pronounced; unlike a diphthong, this change is not just in one direction, and therefore can only be accurately specified by naming three positions, not just where it starts and ends.
		As with diphthongs, triphthongs are usually written in the IPA and X-Sampa simply by placing the symbols for the initial, middle, and final positions next to each other; an alternative is to join them with two tie-bars.
		All triphthongs in English are primary; Spanish is an example of a language with secondary triphthongs.

	Vowel - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A vowel sound that glides from one quality to another is called a diphthong, and a vowel sound that glides between three qualities is a triphthong.
		In phonology, diphthongs and triphthongs are distinguished from sequences of monophthongs by whether or not the vowel sound may be analyzed into different phonemes or not.
		For example, the vowel sounds in a two-syllable pronunciation of the word flower (BrE [flaʊə] AmE [flaʊɚ]) phonetically form a dissyllabic triphthong, but are phonologically a sequence of a diphthong (represented by the letters ) and a monophthong (represented by the letters ).

	A Student Grammar of Spanish - Cambridge University Press
		Spanish diphthongs and triphthongs are indivisible combinations of vowels pronounced as single syllables, laying the stress on the more sonorous syllables, and passing rapidly over the weaker or less sonorous.
		Since a diphthong or triphthong is, in pronunciation, treated as a single syllable, it requires a written accent as with a single vowel.
		In diphthongs containing a strong vowel, and in triphthongs, the accent mark belongs over the strong vowel; when placed over the weak one, the diphthong or triphthong disappears to become two syllables.

		Robert, thanks for the clarification on "triphthong." I mistakenly thought that diphthongs and triphthongs were simply reductions of two or three vowels into something smaller, including a reduction to single vowel sound.
		A triphthong is a set of three vowel sounds.

		In some theories of phonology, these syllable structures are displayed as tree diagrams (similar to the trees found in some types of syntax).
		The syllable nucleus is typically a sonorant, usually a vowel sound, in the form of a monophthong, diphthong, or triphthong, but sometimes sonorant consonants like or.
		The syllable onset is the sound or sounds occurring before the nucleus, and the syllable coda (literally 'tail') is the sound or sounds that follow the nucleus.

		Scottish Gaelic in particular has aspirated consonants, such as "mh", a "v" pronounced through the nose, as opposed to "bh", a "v" pronounced through pursed lips.The diphthong "ao" is particularly difficult for learners, a sort of groan through the nose, as in "laogh", a calf, which is just like the noise that a calf makes.
		In the genitive it is "laoigh", a triphthong.
		To pronounce these correctly, it is necessary to contract the nostrils and force the sound up through the nose.

	CJO - Abstract
		The vowel phonemes of English conventionally subdivide into ‘pure’ vowels and diphthongs, and diphthongs are a well recognised component of the system.
		The very word ‘triphthong’ sounds faintly preposterous, as if somebody has dared a coinage with ‘diphthong’; and wants to have some further fun.
		Without wishing to prejudge the question of the actual existence of triphthongs, I shall use the word to refer to a sequence of three vocalic elements that may be interpreted as a single unit and, as a phoneme, has a contrastive function.

		However, being Japanese a syllabic language, consonants and vowels (particularly the latter) are rarely dealt with individually, and diphthongs too are not really a topic of great interest in Japanese grammar.
		In fact Italian grammar, which is regretfully no longer taught in school (and therefore is practically ignored by younger generations), has specific rules concerning diphthongs and their classification …which I obviously refrain from describing, having this post already turned too boring.

		These are sounds that have two (or three - triphthongs) vowels that all run together to make a sound which counts as one syllable, eg.:
		If we have strong and weak vowels together, then they form a diphthong or triphthong and are counted as one syllable.
		The strong vowel in the group will take more emphasis than the weak vowel and if there are two weak vowels together, the second will take emphasis.

	Re: semivowels
		Ig works because a syllable has only one major vowel be it a monothong, diphthong (or triphthong?).
		In addition to this major vowel there can be semivowels, also known as approximants.
		In contrast, when we sound, we have only one serious rule: a syllable has only one vowel of major voice, and that vowel can be a diphthong (or even a triphthong?).

		Similarly to the previous diphthong, there was during the Middle Ages a triphthong [eau] which came from the evolution of an old brief e from Latin followed by a l in front of another consonant (eg [wezeau] for oiseaux -birds- from the Latin aucellos).
		In a similar fashion as before the last element of the triphthong opened as time went by giving [eao].
		century the triphthong became [o] as it is pronounced nowadays.

		A diphthong is a complex sound made by gliding from one vowel sound to another within the same syllable, as in boy and out.
		Technically, a diphthong is such a sound that consists of two vowels, and a triphthong is such a sound that consists of three vowels.
		However, many people will refer to both combinations generally using the term 'diphthong.'
