Yes, that's correct, but in order to pronounce it like that in Spanish you need to know that there is an accent mark over the i, otherwise in Spanish it would be liam,bias with two syllables, because dipfthongs work like in Lojban. (Instead of breaking them with a comma, we break them with the accent mark.) On the other hand, those English speakers who don't know anything about Spanish tend to pronounce it lam,bias. Jorge
