Diegueno
Ethnologue code(s): dihThis language has a quantity-insensitive stress system.
Primary stress pattern
SPC: 1R
In words of all sizes, primary stress falls on the final syllable.
Secondary stress pattern
SPC: None
In words of all sizes, there is no secondary stress. This is deliberately ambiguous between "none reported" in a source and "verifiably none".

Finite State Acceptors - Dieguenyo_(Diegueno)_root Pattern
The format for the acceptors below is start states, final states, and transitions.
The labels indicate the syllable weight and level of stress.
For example, w0.s2 means a syllable of weight 0 with primary stress; w1.s1 means a
syllable of weight 1 with secondary stress and so on.
The Tail Canonical Acceptor

Stress Pattern Generator
In order to use the Stress Pattern Generator, use numbers between 0 and 1 delimited by spaces in the box below. These numbers represent syllables in a word. The number corresponds to the weight of the syllable, 0 being the lightest, and 1 being the heaviest. When the "Find Stress" Button is clicked, a new page will open with the stresses for the word indicated.
Example input:
A three syllable word in a language with weight of 2 and the heaviest syllable being the middle would be represented as "0 1 0".
