−	A diphthong is a complex [[Vowel (definition)\|vowel]] that is considered a single sound despite two distinct tongue movements. These movements happen across a narrow enough part of the vowel space with enough speed that they are perceived as part of a single sound. The English word ''eye'' is a good example of a diphthongal vowel. The sound consists of two parts: /a/ (as in the first sound in ''father'') followed by an /ɪ/ (as in the vowel in ''bit''). The diphthong in ''eye'' is written as [aɪ] or [aj]; though, there are differing views on whether diphthongs are written as vowel-glide sequences or VV pairings.	+	A '''diphthong''' is a complex [[Vowel (definition)\|vowel]] that is considered a single sound despite two distinct tongue movements.

-A diphthong is a complex [[Vowel (definition)|vowel]] that is considered a single sound but the tongue moves from one part of the mouth to another within a single syllable. For example, the vowel in the English word ''eye'' consists of two parts an /a/ vowel (as in the first vowel in father) followed by an /i/ vowel (essentially the vowel in feet).
