Diphthongs

[edit]

Compound diphthongs: ái - aĩáu - aũéi - eĩ , ùi - uĩ
Mixed diphthongs: ál - al̃ám - am̃án - añár - ar̃él - el̃ém - em̃én - eñìl - il̃ìn - iñìm - im̃ìr - ir̃ùl - ul̃ùm - um̃ùn - uñùr - ur̃, ér - er̃
Complex diphthongs: íe - iẽ and úo - uõ.
Foreign diphthongs used in Lithuanian: èl - el̃èm - em̃èn - eñèr - er̃òlòmònòrèuòi, òu

I've also found Lithuanian accentuation useful, as it is very detailed.

The acute are long vowels, and have a falling (ˆ) tone. Tildes have rising tone. I reckon that grave tones are used for short falling tone.
