Misspelling, or regional spelling? --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's in the old Webster with the Z spelling. SemperBlotto 18:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Chambers Dictionary (1998) has "diphthongise" as a variant spelling of "diphthongize", so "diphthongisation" (which is not listed in that dictionary) would follow. Unless there is a special reason for them not to, all words ending in -ization have an alternative -isation form in British English. I can't think of an exception if there are any at all. — Paul G 10:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
