-A '''syllable''' is a unit of speech composed of at least a vowel. This vowel  may or not be surrounded by one or more consonants. The vowel is referred to as the ''nucleus'' of the syllable; the consonantal material preceding the nucleus is known as the ''onset'' while the consonantal material following the nucleus is known as the ''coda''. In addition, the nucleus and the coda together form the ''rhyme''. Hence for instance, in the monosyllabic word ''cat'' [kæt], the vowel [æ] is the nucleus of the syllable, [k] is the onset, [t] is the coda and [æt] is the rhyme
