Line 281:
''mehrileh'' contains 3 diphthongs<ref name=":0" /> which have evolved from a combination of vowels and the semi-vowel [j] in instances where such sounds were not followed by a vowel. The change was officially recognized and the language sheet updated by [[AmandaCC|FermentedAmanda]] on July 4th 2022.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/mehri/comments/vr7s8y/linguistic_update_concerning_phonemes_ay_aj_oy_%C9%94j/</ref> In consequence to this small shift, the spelling of certain mehrileh words changed.
In theory, syllables in ''mehrileh'' allow for a maximum of three consonants in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable#Onset onset] and four in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable#Coda coda], with the onset being optional and the coda being mandatory; thus, words can never start with a vowel, nor can a vowel follow another,
As a rule, the sound [ʍ] may not appear in the coda of a syllable and may not cluster with other consonants. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable#Nucleus nucleus] of a syllable is always a vowel, and is mandatory. Additionally, when the sounds [ʁ] and [r] are present within one syllable of each other, [ʁ] becomes [r].
