monophthongs and diphthongs explained
A monophthong (/ˈmɒnəfθɒŋ, ˈmɒnəp-/ MON-əf-thong, MON-əp-; from Ancient Greek μονόφθογγος (monóphthongos) 'one sound', from μόνος (mónos) 'single', and φθόγγος (phthóngos) 'sound') is a pure vowel sound, one whose articulation at both beginning and end is relatively fixed, and which does not glide up or down towards a new position of articulation.
The monophthongs can be contrasted with diphthongs, where the vowel quality changes within the same syllable, and hiatus, where two vowels are next to each other in different syllables.
A vowel sound whose quality does not change over the duration of the vowel is called a pure vowel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monophthong
A diphthong (/ˈdɪfθɒŋ, ˈdɪp-/ DIF-thong, DIP-; from Ancient Greek δίφθογγος (díphthongos) 'two sounds', from δίς (dís) 'twice', and φθόγγος (phthóngos) 'sound'), also known as a gliding vowel, is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable.
Technically, a diphthong is a vowel with two different targets:
that is, the tongue (and/or other parts of the speech apparatus) moves during the pronunciation of the vowel.
In most varieties of English, the phrase "no highway cowboy" (/noʊ ˈhaɪweɪ ˈkaʊbɔɪ/) has five distinct diphthongs, one in every syllable.
Diphthongs contrast with monophthongs, where the tongue or other speech organs do not move and the syllable contains only a single vowel sound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphthong
