Are there any languages that don't have any semivowels and diphthongs at all?

Question

If you don't understand, I mean no sounds like /wa/ or /aj/ or /waj/ or /bwaj/ etc...so, they can only have sounds like /ua/ and /ai/ and /uai/ and /buai/ instead...thanks to whoever can answer.

Answer 1

Latin. In choir we all love latin because after you get past the pronunciations, it flows better than most languages, especially english.

Answer 2

Russian. Letters E, Ё, Ю and Я mark two sounds, not diphthongs. But instead we have patalization of consonants which, of course, are not either semivowels or diphthongs.

Й is a consonant. In Russian, at least. Kaj mi vere estas Esperantisto. Mi ecx sukcesis pri la lingvekzameno, nivelo A (cxe Lernu), do mi jam parolas Eon pli bone ol la angla. :)
