| <nowiki>*</nowiki> These vowels are called "long vowels" and are pronounced this way when before one consonant, another vowel, or at the end of a word. These vowels are actually elongated when doubled or when there's an acute accent on the letter (which also makes that vowel's syllable stressed).
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>**</nowiki> These vowels are called "short vowels" and are pronounced this way when before two or more consonants, which included digraphs.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki> This vowel is pronounced this way when unstressed in most situations

| <nowiki>*</nowiki> All of these diphthongs' sounds are lengthened when an acute accent is added on the first letter. This also puts the stress on that diphthong's syllable.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>**</nowiki> When a diaeresis is placed on the second letter of a supposed diphthong, it tells you that each vowel is pronounced separately. Also, if there is an acute accent on the second letter in a supposed diphthong, it tells you that each letter is pronounced separately and the vowel with the acute accent's syllable is stressed.
