FIG. 11T is a chart illustrating the diphthong phonemes in FIG. 11Q, and the mapping between the location, duration, and type of the haptic outputs corresponding to each diphthong phoneme and the manner of articulation and place of articulation of each diphthong phoneme, according to an embodiment. Diphthongs, or gliding vowels, are a combination of two adjacent vowels sounds within the same syllable. These diphthongs are mapped to sequences of the type 1) haptic output described above (sine wave vibration), with the start and end location of the sequence of haptic output matching the place of articulations of the tongue of the starting and ending vowels for the diphthong. For example, the diphthong “oy” in the word “toy” begins with the vowel phoneme “/![custom character]()
/,” which is a back vowel, and ends as a front vowel phoneme /i/, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 11S which emanates from the word “cow” and points towards the front vowel section. Thus the haptic output sequence mapped to this diphthong begins nearer the shoulder, and ends nearer the wrist. A similar mapping is performed for the “I” diphthong and “ow” diphthong in the word “cow,” as shown in FIG. 11S.
