I hate to be all "ackchually", but the "aa" sound in Dutch/Afrikaans is just a single long vowel, not a diphthong. A diphthong is when you switch from one distinct vowel sound to another within the same syllable, like in English "eye" or "ow". The correct term here would be "digraph".
Changed line(s) 471 (click to see context) from:
* A lot of Dutch/Afrikaner surnames are prefixed with ''[[TheVonTropeFamily van]]'' or ''van der''. If the diphthong "-aa-" can be squeezed in somewhere in the name, that's even better.
