Diphthong
Sign in to saveAlso known as gliding vowel
Doppelvokal, Doppellaut aus zwei verschiedenen Vokalen innerhalb einer einzigen Silbe
A diphthong is a single vowel sound in speech that actually contains two different vowel sounds blended together, like the "ow" sound in "no" or the "oy" sound in "boy." Diphthongs matter because they're a key feature of how languages like English are actually pronounced, and understanding them helps explain why words sound the way they do.
