   Typological Variation in Diphthong Inventory
   The size of a language's diphthong inventory correlates inversely with the complexity of its consonant system, suggesting a compensatory relationship governed by the principle of maximum phonic throughput. Languages with extremely restricted consonantal phonemics often compensate by maximizing vowel complexity.
