Monophthong

A monophthong is a simple vowel without changing the quality in contrast to diphthongs. Monophthongs can be distinguished in terms of quantity and quality. The vowel triangle provides a two-dimensional representation. The monophthongs, like all the lutes, are subject to temporal changes, and the sound changes. Some German monophthongs have been formed by monophthongation from diphthongs; On the other hand, old monophthongs were lost to the system by diphthongation. Ein Monophthong ist ein einfacher Vokal ohne Veränderung der Qualität im Gegensatz zu Diphthongen. Monophthonge können hinsichtlich ihrer Quantität und hinsichtlich ihrer Qualität unterschieden werden. Eine zweidimensionale Darstellung liefert das Vokaldreieck. Die Monophthonge sind wie alle Laute zeitlichen Veränderungen unterworfen, es kommt zum Lautwandel. Einige deutsche Monophthonge sind durch Monophthongierung aus Diphthongen entstanden; andererseits gingen alte Monophthonge dem System durch Diphthongierung verloren.
