    The OW Diphthong /au/

    How now brown cow?

    A diphthong is a vowel sound that is made up of two vowel sounds blended


    together to make a new sound. The /au/ sound is made by putting the short a /ae/
    and the long OO /u/ sounds together. So, you open your mouth to say /ae/, and
    then quickly close it and round your lips to say /u/. It is the sound many
    Americans make when they get hurt: Ow
