What Are Spanish Diphthongs?
Spanish vowels which are combined to form one syllable are called Spanish diphthongs. They normally contain a strong vowel such as the letter “O” or “A” followed by a weaker sounding vowel (the other vowels). You can also have the opposite of that as well. A weak vowel that is followed by a strong vowel is also a diphthong. You can even have two weak vowels. If you do have two weak vowels, the second vowel is stressed. Diphthongs are never divided but only pronounced as one.
