In phonology, a syllable coda comprises the sounds of a syllable that follow the nucleus, which is usually a vowel. A coda is not required in syllables. Some languages' phonotactics, like Japanese limit syllable codas to a small group of single consonants, whereas others, like English can have any consonant or even clusters of consonants in syllable codas.
In phonetics and phonology, a syllable onset is the part of a syllable that precedes the syllable nucleus.
Syllables with short vowels as nuclei are sometimes referred to as "light syllables" while syllables with long vowels, diphthongs, or triphthongs as nuclei are referred to as "heavy syllables"; see Syllable weight for more discussion.
In phonology, a syllablecoda comprises the consonant sounds of a syllable that follow the nucleus, which is usually a vowel.
The syllable is a central unit in phonotactic description, although sometimes the principles governing the distribution of phonemes go beyond the confines of a single syllable.
syllable structure, a syllable ending in VC has a branching Rhyme with a non-branching Peak and Coda; and VV is a branching Peak, while VVC is a branching Rhyme with a branching Peak and a non-branching Coda.
This means that, where possible, syllables should be divided in such a way that as many consonants as possible are assigned to the beginning of the syllable to the right (if one thinks in terms of how they are written in transcription), rather than to the end of the syllable to the left.
