New page

A '''diphthong''' is a [[vowel]] whose [[vowel quality|quality]] changes significantly in one direction during its pronunciation.

:::*''"When the medial phase shows an audible change of quality, with the change consistently progressing toward a single target, as it were, then the sound is classified as a '''diphthong'''."'' (Laver 1994:146)

===Examples===
[ai] in English ''wine'', [au] in English ''house''.

===Comments===
Often phonologists do not agreee whether a [[tautosyllabic]] sequence of two sounds is a diphthong or a sequence of vowel plus [[glide]], or glide plus vowel.

===Subtypes===
*[[falling diphthong]]
*[[rising diphthong]]

===Origin===
From Greek ''di-phthongos'' [two-sound]. The word is first attested in English in the 15th century.

===Related terms===
*[[monophthong]] (a vowel whose quality does not change)
*[[triphtong]] (a vowel whose quality changes twice during its pronunciation)
*[[diphthongization]]
