Overview

A Latin word has as many syllables as it has vowels and diphthongs. Thus aes-ta-te has three syllables, au-di-en-dus has four.Two vowels with a consonant between them never make one syllable, as is so often the case in English. Compare English inside with Latin in-si-de.Words are divided into syllables as follows: A single consonant between two vowels goes with the second. Thus a-ma-bi-lis, me-mo-ri-a, in-te-re-a, a-best, pe-re-git.In writing and printing it is customary to divide the parts of a compound, as inter-ea, ab-est, sub-actus, per-egit, contrary to the correct phonetic rule.Combinations of two or more consonants: A consonant followed by l or r goes with the l or r. Thus pu-bli-cus, a-gri.Exception. Prepositional compounds of this nature, as also ll and rr, follow rule b. Thus ab-lu-o, ab-rum-po, il-le, fer-rum.
