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, 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. | Dogrish pitch accents always fall on a vowel or a diphthong.
