Rhythm and pitch are also important elements of accents.
DIALECT

REGIONALISM

MONOPHTHONGS
Vowels that contain only one phonic vowel sound.
DIPHTHONGS
Vowels that contain two vowel sounds.
PLOSIVES
Consonant sounds produced by complete closure of the oral passage and subsequent release accompanied by a burst of air, as in the sound (p) in pit or (d) in dog.
FRICATIVES
A consonant, such as f or s, produced by the forcing of breath through a constricted passage.
