Linenn 7: Dasou doare diftongenn pennañ ez eus hervez an elfenn vogalennek ma kouezh ar muiañ a bouez warni: : '''Diftongenn war gresk''' (saoz. ''descending diphthong''): ~~'''Falling''' (or '''descending''') diphthongs start with a vowel of higher [[prominence (phonetics)\|prominence]] (higher pitch or louder) end in a vowel with less prominence, like /aɪ̯/ in "eye",~~ :: o kregiñ gant ur vogalenn greñvoc'h pe brasoc'h he fouez evit eben, da skouer: ::: /aɪ̯/ e "$", : '''Diftongenn war digresk''' (saoz. ''ascending diphthong'') ~~'''rising''' (or '''ascending''') diphthongs begin with a less prominent vowel and end with a more prominent vowel, like /ɪ̯a/ in "yard".~~ :: oc'h achuiñ gant ur vogalenn greñvoc'h pe brasoc'h he fouez evit eben, da skouer: ::: /ɪ̯a/ e "ya". The element with less prominence in the diphthong may be transcribed as [[semivowel]] in case there is a corresponding one, thus e.g. ~~{{IPA\|~~/ja/}}. However, when the whole diphthong is analysed as being one single phoneme, both elements are often transcribed as vowels. Note also that in languages like English and Italian, rising diphthongs are considered not true diphthongs by many [[phonetician]]s, but sequences of a semivowel and a vowel. A-hend-all e diforc'her ivez etre doareoù diftongennoù hervez live digoradur an eil vogalenn e-keñver hini eben,: In '''closing''' diphthongs, the second element is more [[close vowel\|close]] than the first (e.g. [ai]); in '''opening''' diphthongs, more [[open vowel\|open]] (e.g. [ia]). Closing diphthongs tend to be falling, and opening diphthongs are generally rising, because open vowels are more [[sonority\|sonorous]] and therefore tend to be more prominent. However, exceptions to this rule are not rare in the world's languages. In [[Finnish phonology\|Finnish]], for instance, the opening diphthongs /'''i'''e/ and /'''u'''o/ are true falling diphthongs, since they begin louder and with higher pitch and fall in prominence during the diphthong (this is indicated by bolding in the previous transcriptions).
