How Spanish deals with stressful situations | Diphthongs from Latin to Italian, French, Portuguese

Why does Spanish say tierra and puerta, while Italian says terra and porta? In this video, I explain how Latin vowel length evolved into vowel quality contrasts in Western Romance, why the open-mid vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ were especially prone to diphthongisation, and why Spanish generalised this process more than its sister languages. We’ll look at how Latin long and short vowels merged, how stress reshaped the vowel system, and why modern Spanish ended up with just five vowel phonemes — without /ɛ/ or /ɔ/. This is a phonological deep dive into the history behind Spanish diphthongs, with clear examples and comparisons to Italian, French, and Portuguese.
