    Diphthongs can be classified into closing diphthongs, which are fronting or retracting, centring diphthongs, falling diphthongs, and rising diphthongs. Closing diphthongs involve the tongue moving from one vowel position to another more closed position in the mouth, and are divided based on whether the tongue moves front or back. Centring diphthongs move towards a central vowel position. Falling diphthongs start higher and fall in the mouth, while rising diphthongs start lower and rise.
