a vowel sound produced when the tongue moves from one vowel sound toward another vowel in the same syllable; two vowel sounds that come together so fast that they are considered one syllable (ou, ow, oi/oy)
The spoken form of any Roman alphabetical character in C-1. There are twenty-two such diphthongs, each made up of two vowel sounds of different pitch corresponding to specific ascending and descending melodic intervals.

A diphthong is a type of vowel produced by moving the tongue as it is produced from one position towards another, for example in English /f/ fear and // low. It may correspond to one or two written letters.
a vowel sound that starts near the articulatory position for one vowel and moves toward the position for another
a combination of a strong vowel and a weak vowel or two weak vowels
a combination of two vowels in a single syllable
a pair of vowels written and pronounced together

The phonetic union of a vowel and a glide is called a diphthong (Greek: “two sounds†as apposed to a pure vowel or monophthong, “one soundâ€). Example:“ou†in “houseâ€â€œoo†in “boot
In phonetics a diphthong is a vowel sound in which the tongue changes position to produce the sound of two vowels. Diphthongs are represented by two phonetic symbols. For example: [au] as in house [ai] as in kite [ei] as in same
two vowel characters representing the sound of a single vowel
vowel like speech sound produced by blending 2 vowels within a syllable
A vowel sound produced by two adjacent vowels in the same syllable whose sounds blend together ( i.e., oy, ow)

In phonetics, a diphthong (also gliding vowel) (Greek δίφθογγος, "diphthongos", literally "with two sounds," or "with two tones") is a monosyllabic vowel combination involving a quick but smooth movement from one vowel to another, often interpreted by listeners as a single vowel sound or phoneme. While "pure" vowels, or monophthongs, are said to have one target tongue position, diphthongs have two target tongue positions. Pure vowels are represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet by one symbol: English "sum" as , for example.
