LET'S LEARN DIPHTHONG

Hi, today I want to talk about Diphthong is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable. Technically, a diphthong is a vowel with two different target thats is, the tongue moving during the pronunciation of the vowel. In my dialects of english, the pharse no highway cowboys has five distinct diphthongs, one in every syllable. Diphthongs contrast with monophthong, where the tongue or other speech organs do not move and the syllable contains only a single vowel sound. For instance, in English, the word ah is spoken as a monophthong , while the word ow is spoken as a diphthong in most dialects . Where two adjacent vowel sounds occur in different syllables for example, in the English word re-elect the result is described as hiatus, not as a diphthong.
Diphthongs often form when separate vowels are run together in rapid speech during a conversation. However, there are also unitary diphthongs, as in the English examples above, which are heard by listeners as single-vowel sounds .
Diphthongs use two vowel sounds in one syllable to make a speech sound.


And Silent Letter is a letter that, in a particular word, does not correspond to any sound in the word's pronunciation. Phonetic transcriptions that better depict pronunciation and which note changes due to grammar and proximity of other words require a symbol to show that letter is mute . Handwritten notes use a circle with a line through it and the sound is called 'zero' , it resembles the symbol for the empty set but must not be confused with the Danish and Norwegian letter
