The phonetic realisation of these vowels, especially the higher ones, is generally quite lax, hence the symbols < ɪ ʏ͍ ʊ͍ ɛ œ͍ ɔ͍ æ ɑ > have been used here to represent the phones. The symbols < i y u e ø o æ a > were chosen to represent the phonemes purely for ease of typing, although in all cases except that of /a/, the IPA value of each of these characters is well within the range of possible realisations. A pure [a] would be right on the edge of the ranges of /æ/ and /a/: with the most fronted pronunciations of /a/ being in the realm of [ä]. | The phonetic realisation of these vowels, especially the higher ones, is generally quite lax, hence the symbols < ɪ ʏ͍ ʊ͍ ɛ œ͍ ɔ͍ æ ɑ > have been used here to represent the phones.

====Diphthongs==== | |||
All mid and low vowels can begin falling diphthongs. The following sequences are diphthongs: /ai au æi æy ei eu ey ou oi øy øi/. All other vowel combinations will be separated by a consonant, including the semivowels /w/ and /j/. | |||
