Australian English Phonology

Like many languages, Australian English forbids hiatus. Here is how it resolves the problem obtained when two vowels collide:

If the first vowel is in set (1), then [ɹ] is added:

(1) ɪː eː aː oː øː ə uə~uː

If the vowel is in set (2), then [j] is added:

(2) æi ɪi ɑe oi

If the vowel is in set (3), then [w] is added:

(3) æɔ ʉː ɔʉ

If the vowel is in set (4), then it can’t end a word:

(4) ɪ e æ æː a ɔ u
