What are the rules of syllabicating?

Answer 1

Answer

Syllabication is the art of forming or dividing words into syllables. Syllables are single speech parts that are made up of a vowel sound with or without a closely combined consonant sound.

For example, a single consonant between 2 vowels goes with the second vowel, as in the word: BELONG.

On the other hand, divide 2 vowels next to each other when each carries a different sound, as in the word: VIDEO.
