I don't believe a dipthong has to be a multi-letter combination either. The 'i' in 'bite' for example is a dipthong, being equivalent to an 'ai' sound rather than a pure 'i'.

At first I was like, what sort of thongs are these dipthongs that Abbot like? But I see it was a typo.

You should come to Finland, Finnish is ripe with diphthongs. The favourite Finnish word to say to foreigners is hääyöaie, which can twist quite a few tongues. (It means "wedding night intention", and it's not really a word anyone would use in normal language, but it's formally correct anyway.)
