<p>Phaedra: /* Other languages */</p> <hr /> <div>A ''closed syllable'' is a syllable which is closed by (a) consonant(s). A syllable which is not closed is an [[open syllable]]. The [[rhyme]] of a closed syllable branches: besides the [[nucleus]] (or peak), it also contains a [[coda]]. The English words ''cat'' [kat], ''mice'' [maɪs], and ''tent'' [tent] exemplify closed syllables.<br /> <br /> ===Other languages===<br /> German [[geschlossene Silbe]]<br /> French [[syllabe entravée]]<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Phonetics and phonology]]</div>

<p>Phaedra: /* Other languages */</p> <hr /> <div>An '''open syllable''' is a syllable which lacks a [[coda]], that is, which is not closed by a consonant. A syllable which is not open is a [[closed syllable]]. An open syllable may contain an [[onset]] ((an) initial consonant(s)) and it contains a short or long vowel. The [[rhyme]] of an open syllable does not branch, it only contains the [[nucleus]] (or, alternatively, peak). The English words ''eye'' [aɪ], ''go'' [goʊ], and ''schwa'' [ʃwɑː] exemplify open syllables.<br /> <br /> ===Other languages===<br /> German [[offene Silbe]]<br /> French [[syllabe libre]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Phonetics and phonology]]</div>
