A word is divided into syllables by separating each vowel sound, pronouncing it slowly to see where it breaks into smaller parts.

Example : the word pro-noun-cing has three syllables. A syllable is a unit of pronunciation with only one vowel sound - the smallest unit of speech.

To divide a word into syllables, look for vowel sounds, as each syllable typically contains a vowel. Consonants that come between vowels usually go with the following vowel. However, there are exceptions and tricky words, so it may help to consult a dictionary for correct syllable divisions.
