I had heard no one pronouncing "power" as a triphthong before. I thought I was pronouncing this word as a triphthong, but I was pronouncing it as a diphthong. Now I know there are two possible pronunciations. Great video!

[@DeanRGAnderson]

I have learned so much about pronunciation by watching your videos. Thank you!

[@senaithailu6973]

Do you talk about smoothing of triphthongs? Thank you for the vids. They're terrific! 👍

Why aren't triphthongs included in IPA

[@kartoons1965]

Need to see this before my exam thx you!

Thank you for including the clarifications.

[@spookyblush-speedruns]

Saying a Triphthong can be pronounced as a Diphthong plus a Monophthong, but that a Diphthong plus a Monophthong can't be pronounced as a Triphthong seems hypocritical. I've heard plenty of people pronounce royal, liar (or lire), layer (or lair), buyer, lower (or lore) as single syllables. Other than this, this is a nicely educational video. Thank you.

[@balasubramanian8286]

Thanks for the detailed, well illustrated, highly intelligible teaching. I have a question, please. Does the word "player" have a diphthong or triphthong?

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello Bala! Thank you for your kind words. The word 'player' consist of 2 syllables: you have a diphthong /ei/ in the first and a schwa in the second.

[@ildelisantos]

She is perfect ❤

[@Marveolise2andthegamingreality]

I would please love more examples of other trithongs next time

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello! There aren't any more, they only exist in a few words in English and they are all shown in the video 😊

[@gauravpandey1991]

I could understand for buyer and layer, but liar? It does sound alike fire, where fire is Tripthong and liar is a dipthong and schwa? I'm bemused now.

[@ItzHa55an7]

Your video is so impressive and helpful for me... Thankew

Wow your voice is so beautiful.

[@majestyphonetics]

Thank you🙏💕 for the great work💪. Some of your examples show two syllables on my transcription app, because stress is indicated. Why do we have the variation..?

[@ro5172]

Thank you for the video, but I have a question about the words layer, lair, royal, and lower. You said they are not triphthongs but in Peter Roach book it says they actually are triphthongs. Could you please explain thank you.

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello RO, sure! So a triphthong is found in ONE syllable only and the words you listed (layer, royal & lower) all consist of 2 syllables not just one. The word 'lair' only has one syllable, but it consist only of a diphthong = /leə/, there is no schwa sound to make it a triphthong. I hope this helps!

More examples of triphthong

[@robiahadawiyah7372]

Thank you so much for shared to us about this material, this is also helpful for me🙏🏻. And I wanna ask related to the Tripthongs. So, basically, we have 5 tripthongs or 6 tripthongs? Because when I search on google, I found another tripthongs (jʊə). Is 'jʊə' include tripthongs too? Thank you in advance

[@BillieEnglish]

No, not officially. But then again, phonology is not like a court with laws and absolutes. Usually, this is not mentioned in the group of triphthongs, but then some books might add it anyway because /j/ is also called a semi-vowel, so /jʊə/ is one syllable a bit like the tiphthongs (but officially /j/ is a consonant!).

[@YaseenKhan-qr6xe]

Thank you mam 💓

[@ogunsakinsunday1910]

I have a question why tripthongs are not included in vowels system

[@BillieEnglish]

Hello! They are included in the vowel chart (= the trapezium), but as individual sounds not together like diphthongs or triphthongs. Some charts show both: monophthongs and diphthongs but not triphthongs - to be honest I don't know why. I guess it is to keep the chart simple and not to make it too complicated for learners!

[@salwasaso7507]

i have an exam tmrw wish me luck ❤️

[@BillieEnglish]

How did your exam go?

[@salwasaso7507]

⁠@@BillieEnglish The exam was moderate to difficult and was filled with more questions about triphthongs than monothongs and diphthongs . However, I studied everything you mentioned in the video, and it helped me a lot. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have been able to answer many questions. Thank you very much Miss Billie :)

[@AkwiiJudith-g9v]

Why is letter R used in triphthongs

[@ogbonnaesther6284]

So there must be a shwa sound in the triphthong

[@BillieEnglish]

Yes!

[@ogbonnaesther6284]

Thank you

This is actually a lot more easier than what my book taught me

I have a question , why tripthongs are not included in vowels system.

[@BillieEnglish]

The are part of it in a way: as individual single vowel sounds (= monophthongs).
