 ====Pitch accent====
-Some words and some particular vowel combinations feature a pitch accent.
+Some words and in particular some vowel combinations may exhibit a prosodic feature known as a pitch accent, or ''sang'' [sau̯ŋ]. Both monosyllabic and polysyllabic words may feature a pitch accent.
-If a word has a pitch accent, it does not have stress.
+If the pitch accent falls on a monosyllabic word, the monosyllabic word is uttered in a higher register than the adjecent syllables.
-Dogrish pitch accents always fall on a vowel or a diphthong. Vowels preceding the pitched vowel, if there are any, are pronounced with a low pitch and, depending on the variety of Dogrish, any lengthened vowels and consonants are shortened. This is then followed by a syllable break, whereafter the pitched vowel is pronounced with a high pitch and, depending on the variety of Dogrish, lengthened to between 1.5 and 3 times the length of the low pitch vowel or vowels. Vowels following the pitched vowel, if there are any, are pronounced with a falling pitch at normal length.
+If the pitch accent falls on the initial syllable of a polysyllabic word, the first syllable is uttered in a high pitch and the following syllables in a falling pitch.
-A word that contains a ''stófð'' cannot also contain a pitch accent. However, if a (compound) word contains multiple diphthongs consecutively, there will always be a pitch accent on the final diphthong and any ''stófð'' normally present is neutralised. Whether monosyllabic words consisting of just one diphthong preceding a word starting with a diphthong are counted as part of a string of consecutive diphthongs differs per dialect.
+If the pitch accent falls on a noninitial syllable of a polysyllabic word, the syllables preceding the accented syllable are pronounced with a low pitch and, depending on the variety of Dogrish, any lengthened vowels and consonants are shortened. This is then followed by a syllable break, whereafter the accented syllable is pronounced with a high pitch and, depending on the variety of Dogrish, lengthened to between 1.5 and 3 times the length of the low pitch vowel or vowels. Vowels following the pitched vowel, if there are any, are pronounced with a falling pitch at normal length.
+If a word contains two or more consecutive diphthongs, there will always be a pitch accent on the final diphthong of the consecutive string. Whether monosyllabic words consisting of just one diphthong preceding a word starting with a diphthong are counted as part of a string of consecutive diphthongs differs per dialect.
+A word that contains a ''stófð'' cannot also contain a pitch accent. If a compound word contains both a ''stófð'' and a pitch accent, the pitch accent is realised as a normal stress. However, if a compound word contains multiple diphthongs consecutively, there will always be a pitch accent on the final diphthong and any ''stófð'' is neutralised.
