Spanish Diphthongs And Triphthongs.

There are no Diphthongs or Triphthongs in the English sense of two orthree vowels meeting in one syllable and blending into a differentsound, as "pause," "plough."

Every vowel is pronounced separately and each with its alphabeticalsound, only the two or three vowels occurring in one syllable arepronounced rapidly, as Pausa (pause), Reino (kingdom), Cuenta (account),Buey (ox).

_A, E_ and _O_ never form diphthongs together. They may form diphthongsand triphthongs only in combination with _I_ and _U_.
