YaKney,
: But I suppose scholars have different opinions on the issue of pronuciation.
No they don't. Just get yourself an education, and don't wate our time with such ignorant nonsense. Whether you call it a diphthong or not is
irrelevant. Phonetics is developed in Europe, and "Y" (J) is considered a consonant, so we don't call it a diphthong here.
