    between close-mid [e] and open-mid [ɛ], it is normally written ⟨e⟩. If precision is required, diacritics may be used, such as ⟨ ⟩ or ⟨ɛ⟩

    ENGLISH TRIPHTHONGS CHART

    DIPHTHONGS

    centring closing

    ending in / ending in // ending in //

    // // // // // // // //

    The triphthongs can be looked on as being composed of the five closing diphthongs with
    // added on the end. Thus we get:

    = = /


    = = /
    = / 
