★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
This video explains what triphthongs are: a combination of three vowel sounds in one syllable. The usual pattern is: a diphthong + the central vowel sound /ə/ (= the schwa) all together forming one syllable, also called the nucleus of a syllable. We will go over some example words which contain triphthongs in English and we have a careful look at the spelling pattern because the letter ‘R’ plays a special role here!
*NB: Unfortunately, I made a little mistake in the video in my phonemic transcript for the example word 'year'. The correct transcription is: / /jɪə/ or /jɪər/ not: /jeə/!

Need to see this before my exam thx you!
Ecxelente explicación mi querida y amada profesora estoy aprendiendo mucho con usted💖
Do you talk about smoothing of triphthongs? Thank you for the vids. They're terrific! 👍
Thank you for including the clarifications.
I love you Billie 🥺 you made my work easier
I would please love more examples of other trithongs next time
Hello! There aren't any more, they only exist in a few words in English and they are all shown in the video 😊
Hi Billie.
You'll never know how much you've helped me all these years. I'd have your name on that degree 😂.
This is the best online school I've seen.
Thank you 😊
Aww! What a lovely comment! Thank you! 🙏 I'm so happy my videos have helped you 😊 Well done for persevering with your studies & congratulations on obtaining your degree! 🥳
Tripthongs is challenging, i hope i can more understand After I watched your video
Thank you !
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.
Why aren't triphthongs included in IPA
Wow your voice is so beautiful.
Thanks for the detailed, well illustrated, highly intelligible teaching. I have a question, please. Does the word "player" have a diphthong or triphthong?
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.
I watch most of your videos because they are the best as I remember thank you so much for teaching.❤️✨🌼👍🏻

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..?
Thanks love from Pakistan
Many thanks 🌟❤

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
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!).
You nailed it thank u beautiful lady means a lot to me
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.
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!
Thank you mam 💓
This is actually a lot more easier than what my book taught me
Excellent
Thanks
I love it I must say
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.
Excellent iob
thanks
thanks so much
You're welcome!
I have a question why tripthongs are not included in vowels system
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!
¿Solo ecxiste dos triptongos Ingleses?
🌻🌹🌻
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Why is letter R used in triphthongs
So there must be a shwa sound in the triphthong
Yes!
Thank you
I have a question , why tripthongs are not included in vowels system.
The are part of it in a way: as individual single vowel sounds (= monophthongs).
@@BillieEnglish I dont get it. so Confused. Can you make it clear, please? Thanks in advanced.
I am the first one to see this video. Lol
