Important Notes:
* Triphthongs are often considered as combinations of a diphthong + a schwa sound. So, they can be analyzed as two distinct phases of sound rather than a single, complex sound.
* Some linguists argue for the existence of additional triphthongs, such as /ɔɪə/ (as in "boyish", "enjoy") or /eɪə/ (as in "player", "payer"), but these are less commonly recognized.
Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on any of these points!
