  2. Definition: • Diphthong: Sounds which consist of a movement or glide from one vowel to another. • Pure Vowel: A vowel which remains constant does not glide.

  3. Diphthongs have the same length as the long vowels. • The first part (sound) is much longer and stronger than the second part. • Example: aɪ in the words ‘eye’ and ‘ɪ ’ consists of the ‘a’ vowel, and only in about the last quarter of the diphthong, does the glide to ‘ɪ’ becomes noticeable.

  4. English has 8 diphthongs. Centering diphthong: 1. three (3) ending in ‘ə’ : ɪə, eə, uə Closing diphthong 2. three (3) ending in ‘ɪ’: eɪ, aɪ, ɔɪ 3. two (2) ending in ‘u’: əu, au

  6. TRIPTHONGS • A triphthong is a glide from one vowel to another and the to a third, all produced rapidly and without interruption. For example, a careful pronunciation of the word ‘hour’ begins with a vowel quality similar to ‘ɑ:’, goes on to ‘u’ then ends in ‘ə’. • It says /auə/
