"i" in time
In Received Pronunciation (RP), there are 20 vowel sounds, which are typically divided into 12 pure vowels and 8 diphthongs.
There are approximately 44 phonetic sounds in the English language, including vowels, consonants, and diphthongs. These sounds are represented by the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to help standardize their pronunciation.
There are 8 diphthongs in the English language: /aɪ/, /eɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /aʊ/, /oʊ/, /ɪə/, /eə/, and /ʊə/. Diphthongs are combination of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable.
The Yiddish language has around 38 phonemes, which are the distinct sounds used in the language. These include consonants, vowels, and diphthongs.
There are eight diphthongs in the English language: /aɪ/ as in "time", /aʊ/ as in "out", /eɪ/ as in "day", /oʊ/ as in "go", /ɔɪ/ as in "toy", /ɪə/ as in "here", /eə/ as in "air", and /ʊə/ as in "tour".
The difference is that diphthongs (note spelling) are made by combining two vowel sounds into a single syllable. Three "long" vowels in English are actually diphthongs: A= e+i; I = a+i; O= o+u.
"Voe may-mwahr," but with pure vowels, not the diphthongs of English long O and long A.

"No" in English is also "no" in Spanish. The pronunciation is however different, English (especially the American dialects) have "diphthongs" for most vowels (a gliding between two vowel sounds - in "no" the glide is from an 'o' to a 'w') but Spanish (many dialects) do not have these diphthongs to the same extent and certainly not in their "no". The Spanish 'o' sound is often shorter and constant (clear), no glide.

There are 24 phonemes in the Spanish language. These include vowels, diphthongs, and consonants. Phonemes are the smallest units of sound that can distinguish meaning in a language.
English vowel phonemes can be classified into two main categories: monophthongs, which are pure vowels with stable tongue and lip position (e.g. /i/, /ɛ/, /ɑ/), and diphthongs, which are vowels that glide from one position to another within the same syllable (e.g. /eɪ/, /aʊ/, /ɔɪ/). Additionally, English also includes rhotic vowels, where the /r/ sound affects the vowel quality (e.g. /ɜː/ in "her").
English diphthongs are combination of two vowel sounds within the same syllable, starting with one vowel sound and gliding smoothly into another. They can be classified based on their position in a word (closing diphthongs like /aɪ/ in "price" or centering diphthongs like /əʊ/ in "go") and their starting point (rising diphthongs like /eɪ/ in "day" or falling diphthongs like /aʊ/ in "house").
English has many. A diphthong ( note the spelling, with two aitches), is defined as a single syllable having two vowel sounds. Generally diphthongs are written as two letters: ai as in aisle; ei as in eight; oi or oy as in oil or boy; ou or ow as in house or how. Some two-letter combinations such as the ew in hew (hyoo) or the eu of euphemism are not properly diphthongs because the first of the two sounds is a consonantal y-glide. And other two-letter combinations are considered single vowels, such as the ai in stain or the oa in boat. A peculiarity of English pronunciation is that the so-called "long" vowels a, i and o, such as the a in bake ( beh-eek), the o in go (go-oo) or the i in bite ( ba-eet) are in effect single-letter diphthongs.
