A syllable is a basic unit of organization within a sequence of speech sounds, such as within a word, typically defined by linguists as a nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional sounds before or after that nucleus (margins, which are most often consonants). In phonology and studies of languages, syllables are often considered the "building blocks" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language: its prosody or poetic metre. Properties such as stress, tone, and reduplication operate on syllables and their parts. Speech can usually be divided up into a whole number of syllables: for exa
A syllable is a basic unit of speech made up of a vowel sound (the core) with optional consonant sounds before or after it, and these units combine to form words. Syllables matter because they influence how languages sound and rhythm, and properties like stress and tone operate at the syllable level.

Een lettergreep of syllabe is een klankgroep binnen een woord die minimaal uit een klinker bestaat. Het is een prosodische eenheid, wat inhoudt dat het ritme, de klemtoon en de intonatie bepalend zijn. Er zijn geen volledig objectieve regels te geven voor de opdeling van een stroom taalklanken in lettergrepen, maar in het algemeen delen sprekers de intuïtie dat lettergrepen overeenkomen met de klanken die men op de tellen van een maat uitspreekt, wanneer de spraakklanken op melodie worden gezet.
