Syllable types and lexicon are subject to diachronic language contact influences. Phonotactics and loanword vocabulary in Romance languages tend toward syllable simplification, but complex structures also persist, especially in learned loanwords. Furthermore, complex syllables can result from the tendency to erase unstressed vowels. In a center-periphery arrangement of the system, a phonotactic typology of the Romance languages is thus developed.
