Before proceeding with the orthographic accent rules, let's review a little the subject of the diphthongs, for clear thinking about them helps us with some of the rules.
A diphthong is the union of two vowels in one syllable. When there are three vowels together talking about triphthong.
should be noted that whenever we find contiguous vowels can speak of a diphthong. This happens for different kinds of vowels that exist, according to the manner of utterance: vowels (A, E, O) and vowels (I, U). While
vowels have a strong presence of its own, the high vowels are weaker, and when placed in a diphthong, tend to merge with adjacent vowels. For example, consider this word:
JUDGE
union vowel diphthong EU is, as the U vowel tends to be absorbed by the open E.
When two vowels are juxtaposed as in the case of
RUIN
vowels also tend to merge. However, when juxtaposed vowels are both open, the sharp sound of each phonetic unit there prevent the same manner as in diphthongs. One speaks of a hiatus. Such is the case:
ROERO While
we could say the word VOTE, so to speak with one voice suddenly (it is a monosyllabic word), where Roer we are forced to make a distinction between two syllables RO-ER.
When you put a vowel open and closed, the trend is that this be absorbed by it. However, sometimes the word accent falls on the vowel, and in this case, the vowel sound that takes on a par with an open vowel. Therefore, since the diphthong is not possible. Consider the example: COUNTRY
The vowel I has become more sound. It is as if the word two adjacent vowels. For So we have to make the distinction between the two syllables: PA-IS.
