[quote=JABAROOTOO,236958]Probably because the 'ao' is a dipthong and they make a single sound so the tone marker goes over the beginning vowel. Where as in xue the u and e is not a dipthong but each of the vowels is pronounced so the tone is on the final vowel. Shall we see if our Chinese friends can confirm this simple explanation. I'll ask a couple of my teacher friends too. [/quote]
