A diphthong is where you have 2 vowel sounds next to each other such that your mouth moves during the vowel sound. An example would be the word “house.” A triphthong would be the same, but with 3 adjacent vowel sounds. I’m not sure off hand if there are any actual words that have this phenomenon in the English language.
