- A rising diphthong moves from lower in the vowel space to higher. Since the high vowels like /u/ and /i/ tend to form glides (and low vowels tend not to), a rising diphthong will generally wind up having a full vowel followed by a glide (an "off-glide") like /y/ or /w/. ...
- A diphthong is a sequence of vowels, but not every sequence of vowels is a diphthong. ...
