of your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

The word "diphthong" comes from Greek words meaning "two sounds." That pretty much tells you the difference between diphthongs and vowels.

Pure vowels have just one sound. When such a vowel is spoken, the tongue remains still.

By contrast, diphthongs have two sounds and the tongue must move while moving from one sound to the other. A diphthong starts with one vowel sound and then glides to the other. Many diphthongs are made with two letters (like "look" and "coin") but others can have only one letter (like "ride" and "fine").
