The vowel length is determined by the number of consonants that follow the vowel: if there is only one consonant (i.e., <b>CV</b>CV or <b>CVC</b># syllable structure), the vowel is long; if there are more than one (<b>CVC</b>CV), counting geminates and pre-aspirated stops as CC, the vowel is short.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEÁrnason2011152–3_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEÁrnason2011152–3-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In addition to long monophthongs, Faroese also has diphthongs, which are always long.
