SYLLABLE CONSONANT CLUSTERS
STRUCTURE OF SYLLABLES
Introduction:
Syllable is a unit of human speech that is interpreted by the listener as a single sound. Every word in English is made up of one or more syllables. A syllable consists of vowels and consonants. The central element of a syllable is normally a vowel sound and the marginal elements are usually consonants. At times a single vowel itself can constitute a syllable. In India, languages are syllable-timed languages so uniform stress is given to different syllables. English, on the contrary, is a stress-timed language in which there exists a distinction between strong and weak syllables.

To understand the nature of syllables in English
To understand the differences between strong and weak syllables

Monosyllabic Words (A word with one-syllable)

Trisyllabic Words (A word with three-syllables)
Polysyllabic Words (A word with three-syllables or more than three)
