Learn to use the International Phonetic Alphabet to help you pronounce other languages. In this third lesson I discuss the basic parts of syllables and the kinds of syllables found in different languages.
Slashes // enclose IPA transcriptions in this video. (We'll learn about brackets [] next time.) Slashes signal that the text inside represents transcribed pronunciation instead of "regular" written language.
V stands for any vowel and C for consonants in a syllable: V (vowel), CV (consonant-vowel), CCVC, etc.
Syllables have a nucleus (usually V), an onset before the nucleus (C, CC, etc.) and a coda after the nucleus (C, CC, etc.).
A low dot (period) can be used to separate syllables in IPA: /sɪ.lə.bəlz/ 'syllables'.
Diphthongs are formed when multiple vowels share the nucleus: /hait/ 'height'.
A double mark follows a long vowel: /iːz/ 'ease'.
Syllabic consonants (including /l/, /r/, /m/, /n/) sit at the nucleus of a syllable instead of a vowel: /sɪ.lə.blz/ 'syllables'. They're often written with a small line below.

What is a syllable?
A syllable is a unit in a sequence of sounds made when speaking.
For example, in the word dog we have one syllable, dog. Dog is a monosyllable. It is a monosyllabic word.
Other words with two syllables are disyllabic like the word English. En glish
Trisyllabic words have three syllables. Syllable is a trisyllabic word. Sy lla ble
Polysyllabic words have more than three syllables, but polysyllabic can also refer to any word with more than one syllable. Polysyllabic is a polysyllabic word. It has five syllables. Po lly sy lla bic
You can see that all syllables contain a vowel sound supported by consonants.
Most syllables have an onset which consists of one or more consonants. English allows some multiconsonant onsets. Your language may not.
The onset is followed by the nucleus. The nucleus is normally made up of the vowel, and the nucleus forms the peak of the syllable.
The smallest possible syllable consists only of the nucleus. The monosyllabic words eye and ear both have only a nucleus. eye /ɑɪ/ ear /ɪə/
The nucleus can be followed by a coda -- this literally means tail.
A nucleus that is not followed by a coda is called an open or free syllable.
vowel, consonant vowel, consonant consonant vowel...
A nucleus that is followed by a coda is called a closed or checked syllable.
vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant consonant...
English allows both closed and open syllables. Your own language probably does, too.
Though all syllables contain a vowel as their nucleus, the vowel may be a monophthong or a diphthong.
Remember that the monophthongs are the pure vowels and they are found in the top left part of the chart.
The word bed is monosyllabic because it contains just one syllable. It also has an onset, a nucleus and a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the monophthong vowel /e/. The coda is the consonant sound /d/.
bed /bed/
As I said earlier, the diphthongs are found in the top right part of the chart.
The word bike is monosyllabic because it contains only one syllable. It has an onset, a nucleus and a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the diphthong vowel /ɑɪ/. The coda is the consonant sound /k/.
bike /bɑɪk/
The word boy is monosyllabic because it contains only one syllable. It has an onset and a nucleus, but it does not have a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the diphthong vowel /ɔɪ/. There is no coda.
boy /bɔɪ/ If you are serious about improving your English, then perfecting your accent should be an important part of the process.

A syllable (from the Greek συλλαβή, syn = 'co, together' + labe = 'grasp', thus meaning a handful [of letters]) is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).
Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns.

Syllable
A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).
Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns.
Syllabic writing began several hundred years before the first letters. The earliest recorded syllables are on tablets written around 2800 BC in the Sumerian city of Ur. This shift from pictograms to syllables has been called "the most important advance in the history of writing".
A word that consists of a single syllable (like English dog) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable.

What is a syllable?
A syllable is a unit in a sequence of sounds made when speaking.
For example, in the word dog we have one syllable, dog. Dog is a monosyllable. It is a monosyllabic word.
Other words with two syllables are disyllabic like the word English. En glish
Trisyllabic words have three syllables. Syllable is a trisyllabic word. Sy lla ble
Polysyllabic words have more than three syllables, but polysyllabic can also refer to any word with more than one syllable. Polysyllabic is a polysyllabic word. It has five syllables. Po lly sy lla bic
You can see that all syllables contain a vowel sound supported by consonants.
Most syllables have an onset which consists of one or more consonants. English allows some multiconsonant onsets. Your language may not.
The onset is followed by the nucleus. The nucleus is normally made up of the vowel, and the nucleus forms the peak of the syllable.
The smallest possible syllable consists only of the nucleus. The monosyllabic words eye and ear both have only a nucleus. eye /ɑɪ/ ear /ɪə/
The nucleus can be followed by a coda -- this literally means tail.
A nucleus that is not followed by a coda is called an open or free syllable.
vowel, consonant vowel, consonant consonant vowel...
A nucleus that is followed by a coda is called a closed or checked syllable.
vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant consonant...
English allows both closed and open syllables. Your own language probably does, too.
Though all syllables contain a vowel as their nucleus, the vowel may be a monophthong or a diphthong.
Remember that the monophthongs are the pure vowels and they are found in the top left part of the chart.
The word bed is monosyllabic because it contains just one syllable. It also has an onset, a nucleus and a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the monophthong vowel /e/. The coda is the consonant sound /d/.
bed /bed/
As I said earlier, the diphthongs are found in the top right part of the chart.
The word bike is monosyllabic because it contains only one syllable. It has an onset, a nucleus and a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the diphthong vowel /ɑɪ/. The coda is the consonant sound /k/.
bike /bɑɪk/
The word boy is monosyllabic because it contains only one syllable. It has an onset and a nucleus, but it does not have a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the diphthong vowel /ɔɪ/. There is no coda.
boy /bɔɪ/ If you are serious about improving your English, then perfecting your accent should be an important part of the process.

What is a syllable?
A syllable is a unit in a sequence of sounds made when speaking.
For example, in the word dog we have one syllable, dog. Dog is a monosyllable. It is a monosyllabic word.
Other words with two syllables are disyllabic like the word English. En glish
Trisyllabic words have three syllables. Syllable is a trisyllabic word. Sy lla ble
Polysyllabic words have more than three syllables, but polysyllabic can also refer to any word with more than one syllable. Polysyllabic is a polysyllabic word. It has five syllables. Po lly sy lla bic
You can see that all syllables contain a vowel sound supported by consonants.
Most syllables have an onset which consists of one or more consonants. English allows some multiconsonant onsets. Your language may not.
The onset is followed by the nucleus. The nucleus is normally made up of the vowel, and the nucleus forms the peak of the syllable.
The smallest possible syllable consists only of the nucleus. The monosyllabic words eye and ear both have only a nucleus. eye /ɑɪ/ ear /ɪə/
The nucleus can be followed by a coda -- this literally means tail.
A nucleus that is not followed by a coda is called an open or free syllable.
vowel, consonant vowel, consonant consonant vowel...
A nucleus that is followed by a coda is called a closed or checked syllable.
vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant, consonant vowel consonant consonant...
English allows both closed and open syllables. Your own language probably does, too.
Though all syllables contain a vowel as their nucleus, the vowel may be a monophthong or a diphthong.
Remember that the monophthongs are the pure vowels and they are found in the top left part of the chart.
The word bed is monosyllabic because it contains just one syllable. It also has an onset, a nucleus and a coda.
The onset is the consonant sound /b/. The nucleus is the monophthong vowel /e/. The coda is the consonant sound /d/.
bed /bed/

A syllable (from the Greek συλλαβή, syn = 'co, together' + labe = 'grasp', thus meaning a handful [of letters]) is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).
Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns.
