Syllable

A syllable is a unit of pronunciation. Syllables are the 'building blocks' of phonological words.

Syllables usually contain a vowel and accompanying consonants. Sometimes syllables are referred to as the ‘beats’ of spoken language.

The number of times you hear a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) in a word is equal to the number of syllables a word has.
