DIPHTHONG


Meaning of DIPHTHONG in English

noun

EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS

A frequent fault is making the diphthongs too long: each element is too clearly articulated.

In 1835 the oi diphthong was systematically changed to ai in accordance with modern pronunciation in words like françois.

The next two diphthongs are almost exactly the opposite of each other and therefore less likely to be confused.

The sounds of hate, bee, high, bone, few, are the basic diphthongs.

You may have noticed that I have not suggested any intensive practice specifically on vowels or their different combinations into diphthongs.
