BrainKing - Diskusní kluby (Languages)

Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

I have two questions:

1) How many consonantal sounds can come exactly after one another in English?

For example in the word "Faxed" we have /..kst/ which is three consonantal sounds after one another.

Do we have four or five or more?

2) How many vowels can come exactly one after one another?

In the word "serious" we have i, o, u and in "queue" we have u, e, u, e.

Do we have more?
