Abstract: Though the basic phonological elements are phonemes, human inter- communication is actualized in syllables. The syllable as a unit is difficult to define, though native speakers of a language are usually able to state how many syllables there are in a particular word. This article discusses the basics of syllable formation in linguistics. It explains how syllables are formed, their structure, and their roles in different languages. The paper also looks at the rules of syllable formation and their connection to sounds and word structure. This study is useful for students and researchers in linguistics.
