@Alessioryan -- this is A LOT of diphthongs -- I didn't see any phonemic (minimal pair) information contrasting them, just a table of potential v-to-v combinations. Can you confirm?

The PDF states "Vowel sequences can either function as a complex nucleus, or a sequence of syllables with the patterns CV.V or V.V. The conditioning factor is stress."
A near minimal pair is /na.'i.bi/ 'your dress' and /na.nai.'ña/ 'all'.
The way diphthongization is phrased makes it seem like stress on the second vowel and diphthongization are in complimentary distribution, where a VV sequence is V.V iff stress falls on the second vowel and VV otherwise. Unfortunately the analysis does not state whether stress is contrastive, but since they mention that the "conditioning factor is stress" I think you're right, they're probably non-contrastive. Thoughts before I update the PR?

@bambooforest I wanted to check in on this before I update it, let me know what you think, thanks!

My thoughts remain the same -- maybe you can have a quick look @drammock ?

The document is not 100% clear, but my best interpretation would be that "vowel combinations in complex nuclei" could reasonably be interpreted to mean "diphthongs" (and there are contrasts demonstrating where stress on the second vowel leads to non-diphthongs, which I think supports that interpretation). So I'd be inclined to follow the table on page 74 of the document (page 22 of the PDF scan) and list the diphthongs included there (except things like
ii
which should be interpreted as long vowels).There was a problem hiding this comment.

Fine with me. Thx!
