A vowel cluster is two or more vowels occurring next to each other in a single syllable with no intervening consonant. Vowel clusters are distinct from diphthongs in that diphthongs are vowel combinations in a single syllable involving a quick but smooth movement from one vowel to another while vowel clusters have a slower rate of change of formant trajectories.
