Hello File Leech, welcome to English Forums, I would say that a syllable is a word or a part of a word that consists of one vowel or diphthong sound, with 0–5 consonant sounds on each side. g. help: 1 vowel sound [e] = 1 syllable what's: 1 vowel sound [a] = 1 syllable a: 1 vowel sound [a] = 1 syllable syllable = 3 vowel sounds [y, a, e] = 3 syllables Don't forget to ignore any silent vowels.

- You can find out how many syllables there are by looking the word up in a dictionary.
- Each dictionary has its own method of showing syllables, which will be explained at the front.

Some people find it useful to think of the number of syllables in a word in terms of a music, more specifically, the minimum number of melody notes necessary to set the word to music.
Caution: This does not work for everyone. It may depend on the extent of your personal experience with music.

OK, The syllable is the consisting of a center which has little or no obstruction to the air flow, you shoul see phonetics and phonology from Peter Roach..
U can tell the number of syllables when u find obstruction to the air flow, example:
this is a minimum Sylable; are /a:/
you see , no obstruction.
now see this: cookie; /kuki/ you see KU and then an obstruction to say Ki ,,

Hello everyone,
You said that syllable division is necessary to (1) set the words to music and (2) to good pronunciation. By the latter do you mean to know which syllable should be stressed?
Many thanks,
Hela
