The word defiance, in most pronunciations, has a short I, a long I, and a final schwa syllable (dih-FY-ehn-s). It has the same vowel pattern as reliance (although it more closely rhymes with compliance).

The first syllable has the same short sound as the (ih) in if, differ, stiff, and whiff. The long I can appear in a number of spellings:

I words (isle, mild, find, sign)

IGH and IGHT sounds (high, sigh, light, might)

I words with silent E (bite, wine)

IE words (die, lie, pie)

EI words (stein, fraulein)

AI words (aisle)

Y words (my, try, type, rhyme)

AY Words from French (bayou, cayenne)
