At the end of a word obstruents are pronounced voiceless, unless followed by a word beginning with a voiced obstruent, in which case the above cluster rules apply. However in some regional dialects, final obstruents are voiced if the following word starts with a sonorant. | At the end of a word obstruents are pronounced voiceless, unless followed by a word beginning with a voiced obstruent, in which case the above cluster rules apply.

'''Diphthongs''' | |||
Czecklish has a very large number of diphthongs - 35 in fact! Vowels can form diphthongs with both close and open-mid vowels, as well as /ɑ/. The central vowel /ɨ/ cannot be a second element in diphthongs, as it can never be non-syllabic. Nasal vowels can also form diphthongs, but they are not as common, and do not appear before nasal consonants.<br /> | |||
